Reaction Diffusion Equations and Sharp Transitions
1:30 PM-4:00 PM
Anthurium and Ginger (Salon 1 & 2)
The speakers in this minisymposium will discuss reaction-diffusion equations and systems, which arise in many applications of mathematics, for example, mathematical biology, catalysis and combustion. They will particularly emphasize the case of small diffusion where there can be sharp transitions. They will discuss various analytic and topological methods for obtaining such solutions, the stability of these solutions (especially stability for systems), and systems in general.
