Workshop overview
To promote high-level international exchange in nonlinear mathematical physics and related interdisciplinary areas, and to strengthen scholarly interaction among members of the Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics community and the broader international research community, the International Workshop on Nonlinear Mathematical Physics and Related Topics is planned for July 18–22, 2027, at Jilin University, Changchun, China.
This workshop is academically inspired by the scientific scope of the Journal of Nonlinear Mathematical Physics and is intended to promote scholarly exchange among members of the journal community and researchers working in related areas. According to the journal’s current Aims and Scope, the areas covered include nonlinear equations of mathematical physics, difference and functional equations, integrability and non-integrability, scattering and inverse scattering, Painlevé analysis, discrete integrable systems, differential geometry in mathematical physics, geometry and algebra of nonlinear equations, applications of Lie groups and Lie algebras, quantum algebras, computational and numerical problems, complex fluids, nonlinear waves, and nonlinear modeling in mathematical biology and engineering, among others.
The workshop is expected to bring together the Editors-in-Chief, Editorial Board Members, and Early Career Editorial Board Members of the journal, together with invited distinguished scholars from the international research community. To ensure a focused and productive academic atmosphere, participation will be limited to no more than 50 invited participants.
