Overview
The program will be centered around the following four interconnected
sub-themes:
(i). Differential equations with variable delay;
(ii). Delay differential equations in physical sciences and engineering;
(iii). Structured delay systems;
(iv). Delay differential equations in medicine and physiology.
Program structure
The program will be run in May 2015, and will be organized along
the aforementioned sub-themes, each typically consisting of a "short
introductory course", an "opening talk" covering
the main issues of the sub-theme in a format suitable for general
participants including graduate students, a number of "invited
talks" to cover the subject in depth, an afternoon poster session
for graduate students, "panel discussions" with focus
for future directions, and some "public lectures" focusing
on applications. There will be a session dedicated to knowledge
translation and transfer, and Professor John Mallet-Paret (Brown
University) will give the Coxeter and Distinguished Lecture Series
associated with thematic program.
It is hoped that invited presentations combined will provide a comprehensive
picture of the current status including most recent progress in the
sub-theme and the entire field. The primary goal of these presentations
and discussions is to generate synergy among these sub-themes, every
effort is being and will be made to make sure that the sub-thematic
areas combined will provide a global picture of the frontiers and
future directions in nonlinear dynamics of delay differential equations.
