Stability and instability of nonlinear waves
Topic
Stability plays an essential role in many branches of science and engineering, including several aspects of fluid mechanics, high-speed transmission of information, and feasibility of MHD fusion devices. The objective of the workshop is to give an overview of current state-of-the-art methods for examining stability, as well as to present some widely applicable new techniques. The format will consist of four invited speakers giving a series of lectures at a level aimed at graduate students but useful for researchers from a variety of disciplines, such as mathematics, engineering, biology, etc.

Details
Although the topic of stability of solutions of partial differential equations is important in almost any application area, the most powerful techniques one uses to examine stability are hardly ever taught in courses. This is mainly because many of these techniques have come about fairly recently. We are organizing a workshop where these techniques are taught in 4 mini-courses. The workshop is aimed at graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and young researchers interested in stability methods, working in different disciplines on a variety of applications.
