Symmetries of Differential Equations: Frames, Invariants and Applications. A conference in honor of the 60th birthday of Peter Olver
Month: May 2012
Date: May 17--19
Name: Symmetries of Differential Equations: Frames, Invariants and Applications. A conference in honor of the 60th birthday of Peter Olver
Location: University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Description
The conference will assess the present state of knowledge in the wide ranging but coherent research fields in which Peter Olver has been involved and celebrate his profound influence on these fields through his books and papers and, especially, through an amazing number of students, postdocs and collaborators. The main topics to be addressed are symmetries of differential equations and variational problems, with special emphasis on moving frames, Cartan theory of differential forms and invariant theory. Also Hamiltonian systems, integrable systems including solitons will be treated, as well as applications of symmetry-based methods to image processing, fluid mechanics and elasticity.
