  • Date: 04/17/2007
Lecturer(s):

Carlos Kenig (University of Chicago)

Location: 

University of Washington

Topic: 

We will review the progress in the last 20 years on the well-posedness
theory of dispersive equations, concentrating in the case of the
Korteweg- de Vries equation to illustrate it. We will then describe
some of the current challenges in the area, and biefly discuss recent
joint works ( mainly with Alex Ionescu ) in which progress has been
made for the Benjamin-Ono equation, the Schrodinger map system and the
Kadomstev-Petviashvili I equation.
