New Directions in Nonlinear PDEs
Date: 20 - 27 May 2026
Location: Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture
Event type: Workshop
Organisers: Angela Pistoia (Sapienza), Susanna Terracini (Turin), Bozhidar Velichkov (Pisa), Tobias Weth (Frankfurt)
This workshop is designed to provide a week of intensive study and discussion on some of the most pressing themes in contemporary nonlinear analysis, engaging with a broad spectrum of mathematical problems characterised by their complexity and deep interconnections. The program is organised around key topics such as pattern formation in PDEs, phase separation, optimal partition problems, shape optimisation, and free boundary problems, together with the exploration of complex solutions to ordinary differential equations, particularly within celestial mechanics and Hamiltonian systems. Special attention will also be devoted to singular perturbations and concentration phenomena.
