ATMW PDE and Mechanics (2016) - Speakers and Syllabus

Non linear hyperbolic conservation laws play a central role in science and engineering and  form the basis for the mathematical modeling of many physical systems. Their  theoretical and numerical analysis thus plays an important role in applied mathematics and applications. Hyperbolic conservation laws present unique challenges for both theory and numerics as smoothness of their  solution breaks down and produce discontinuities. The main aim of this workshop is to introduce this area  to the young researchers starting from the basics to the advanced level from theoretical as well as computational point of view so that they can  take up this area for their further research.
