Liebe Besucherinnen und Besucher des Dissertantenkolloquiums!

Am Donnerstag den 29. Mai findet der nächste Vortrag im Rahmen des  
Dissertantenkolloquiums in diesem Semester statt. Alice Mikikits- 
Leitner spricht über "Almost everything you ever wanted to know about  
the Korteweg-de Vries equation".

Zusammenfassung: This talk presents a study on a famous example of a  
nonlinear wave equation, the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV). First  
we will consider the linearized KdV equation and describe the long  
time asymptotics of the solutions by using the method of stationary  
phase. Then we will study the nonlinear case. Finally, we will solve  
the Cauchy problem for the KdV equation with rapidly decaying initial  
data by the inverse scattering method, which represents a nonlinear  
analog of the Fourier transform to solve linear partial differential  
equations.
If time permits the Lax approach for the KdV equation will be presented.

Donnerstag, 29. Mai 2008, 17:15, Seminarraum C 2.09
Kaffee und Kuchen ab 17:00 im Common Room C 2.06

Wir freuen uns auf euer Kommen,
