Description
The aim of the conference is to exchange the recent progress and ideas in the field of pseudo-differential operators and related broader analysis. Our group took an initiative to organise this workshop for the continuity of research in the field despite the coronavirus times, therefore, the conference will take place on ZOOM.
The conference will be of interest to all pseudo-differentiators, microlocalisers, and Fourier transformers, as well as to mathematicians working in related areas of analysis (noncommutative, spectral, harmonic, nonharmonic) and partial differential equations.

In the above paper one makes a consistent development of the calculus of pseudo-differential operators which can be called pseudo-difference operators in the context of the lattice
Some interesting questions to answer:
- how to define Hörmander type or other symbol classes on
?
- what is the relation to the analysis on the torus
?
- can it be used to derive new properties of operators on
?
- how to apply it to solving difference equations and to finding properties of their solutions?

Our modelling of COVID-19 for Belgium:
The effectiveness analysis is carried our for the lockdown in Belgium and of its duration, as well as of several phases of its relaxation. The comparative projection is made of different scenarios depending on the strength of confinement measures and their implementation.
