Project Summary
Nonlinear Problems in Mathematical Analysis is a
four-year (2008-2011) research project funded by the
Research Council of Norway,
and hosted by the
Department of Mathematical Sciences
at the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
The project aims to strengthen and further develop basic research within the
group of researchers in classical analysis and differential equations at
NTNU. Situated at Norway's premier engineering school, the research team of
this project has as its vision to
- operate in the two-way street between
mathematical and technological sciences
- develop basic research of high quality and contemporary interest.
A common feature of the basic research of
this group of analysts is that
- problems often have their origin in
physical or technological applications
- problems are inherently nonlinear
- harmonic and complex analysis often enter the analysis, in addition to tools
from PDEs and functional analysis
The project will
- support interaction within the group
- strengthen recruitment to the field in terms of new PhDs and
postdoctoral fellows
- strengthen collaboration between junior and senior faculty
- strengthen collaboration with relevant groups within Norway
- strengthen and develop international collaboration
The core of the project will be the training of 4 PhDs (proposed projects
are specified) and 2 postdoctoral fellows (proposed projects
are specified). Several foreign visiting scholars will participate in the
project.
