Summer School “Singularities in Science and Engineering”
22-31 August 2022
Ghent Analysis & PDE Center
Ghent University

Description
The study topic for this school concerns methods in mathematical analysis for integro-partial differential equations which arise in physical modelling and include irregular coefficients and initial data, i.e. include singularities. The topics also span a range of mathematical tools used in such analysis. The topic of the school is of fundamental importance from both the theoretical perspective and the wide range of concrete applications in problems with strong singularities.
The main objective of the school is to significantly enrich student’s knowledge in both well-known and very new mathematical tools for modelling and treating strong singularities in evolutionary systems of equations which arise in modelling physical phenomena. The aim of the school is also to bring together experts in both theory and applications, to initiate and deepen the cooperation between different fields on important concrete problems, using latest theoretical developments in the field.
