Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The VDSP Academy 2021 “Partial Differential Equations in Mathematical Physics” presents an overview on the field of evolutionary partial differential equations (PDEs) in the context of physical systems.
In a first part the methods necessary to analyse a wide range of PDEs will be introduced and reviewed with a focus on their applicability to the problems at hand.
In a second part specific types of PDEs will be discussed and their solutions will be analysed by use of the aforementioned methods. The classes of equations considered in the course range from nonlinear wave equations and Schrödinger equations to Euler equations and the heat flow. This course will provide the audience with a survey of the field with references to further advanced courses, which respectively concern the individual topics. Morning keynote talks by the lecturers will be complemented by hands-on tutorials in the afternoon.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participants will be assessed on their performance in the tutorials (continuous assessment) and in a final paper to be submitted. Both parts are included in the final grade at 50% each.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
