Description

 

On September 10 to 14, 2002, a Scientific Conference on "Hyperbolic Problems and Related Topics" was held at the" Palazzone" in Cortona under the auspices of Instituto Nazionale di AIta Matematica "Francesco Severi" of Roma.

Three courses were given: by Serge Alinhac on blowup at infinity for quasi-linear Wave equations, by Jean-Michel Bony on microlocal analysis applied to evolution equations, and by Luc Robbiano and Claude Zuily on analytic scattering wave front set and applications to Schrodinger equation.

 

Lectures in a variety of topics were also given. They include: the Cauchy problem for strictly or weakly hyperbolic operators and their applications; semilinear, quasilinear or fully nonlinear equations; the Navier-Stokes and Schrodinger equations. Other topics discussed were the Sine-Gordon Hierarchy, oscillatory integrals and unique continuation problems, local solvability for differential or pseudodifferential operators, lower bounds of pseudodifferential systems. The most frequently occurring theme was perhaps the use of microlocal analysis, which is now a cornerstone in the study of linear and also nonlinear equations.
