International Workshop "Advances in Nonlinear Analysis"

Department of Mathematics, University of Pittsburgh
March 13 - 15, 2014


The workshop will be held in the framework of 2014 Theme Semester on Convex Integration and Analysis at the University of Pittsburgh. It aims to bring together leading researchers in Nonlinear Analysis and to disseminate the most recent developments and techniques at the crossing of Partial Differential Equations, Geometric Analysis, Geometric Measure Theory, Harmonic Analysis and Potential Theory, and Nonlinear Analysis.
