Abstract

The study of natural pattern formation is a very broad area. The workshop will focus on selected topics in which new developments in physical sciences, related to pattern forming systems, are motivating or have the potential to motivate new research in PDEs. These topics center around Rayleigh-Bénard convection, wave patterns, reaction-diffusion systems, biological pattern formation including neural models, as well as fronts and interface evolution including atomistic models.
