Welcome
Welcome to the home page for the 2012 Spring Workshop on Integrable Systems and Solitons to be hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg, Texas. The workshop will be held on April 27 - 28, 2012 on the campus of University of Texas-Pan American. There will be no registration fee, and all talks will be limited to 50 minutes. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers as well as interested faculty are encouraged to participate in the workshop. See our program (including schedule, speakers list, and abstract). Workshop Topics
The 2012 Spring Workshop on Integrable
Systems and Solitons focuses on the topics
including solitary waves, squared eigenfunctions, analysis, geometric and algebraic structure of integrable systems. This workshop is partially supported
by funding from the Departments of Defense and TX - NHARP programs (www.utpa.edu/dod) and aims to seek for new
collaborations between UTPA and external universities/companies. In addition
to discussing current research on integrable
systems and solitons, we will develop our common
interests through several joint proposals. Graduate students, postdoctoral
researcher and junior faculty are encouraged to attend and present their
work. Prof. David Kaup (UCF) will be our workshop key note speaker, and will address some recent developments about soliton theory such as 3 by 3 operators, classification of soliton solution and multi-component of integrable equations, etc. Other confirmed speakers include: Prof. Jibin Li (Zhejiang Normal University), Prof. Roy Choudhury (UCF), and Prof. Shenzhou Zheng (Beijing Jiaotong University, University of Kentucky).
