The “US-CHILE Workshop: New Developments in Partial Differential Equations II,” held the second week of January, was the second of two workshops aimed to share the latest in Singular Perturbations, Quasilinear Elliptic Equations and Mass Transport in Nonequilibrium Systems.
In addition to the group of differential equations at CMM, the workshop was attended by more than thirty researchers from United States, England, France, Spain, Italy and from national institutions such as University of U. de Tarapacá, U. Federico Santa Maria, U. de Concepción and U. Católica.
The relationship between the CMM´s researchers and the group of nonlinear analysis at Carnegie Mellon University started in 2003, when the American researchers participated in the first Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) organized by the CMM. But it was not until the second PASI on 2005, when the group of nonlinear analysis showed some interest to work in collaboration with researchers from our Faculty. As a way to bring these two groups together two workshops were planned, one in United States and other in Chile.
For one of the organizers, Prof. Raúl Manasevich, these meetings have also enabled them to formulate a larger research project. “Between April or May we expect to present our proposal to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and get funding to start the work,” he concluded.
The first of these workshops was on May 2007 in Pittsburgh, at the Centre for Analysis Nolineal and for the future researchers expect to meet at least once a year.
