The third edition of the meeting Integrable Systems in Newcastle will take place over two half days, from 5 to 6 February 2016, at the Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences of Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne.

The workshop will focus on exploring new connections between integrability and physics and will promote interactions between leading researchers in both areas.

The list of speakers will be:

  • Dr Martina Balagovic (Newcastle)
  • Dr Gennady El (Loughborough)
  • Dr Pierre-Philippe Dechant (York)
  • Prof Katrin Leschke (Leicester)
  • Dr Davide Proment (East Anglia)
  • Prof Noel Smyth (Edinburgh)
  • Prof Iain W. Stewart (Strathclyde)

There is no registration fee for this event and support for the expenses of research students may be available.

For further information visit the website at http://group28.northumbria.ac.uk/IS/ and contact Benoit Huard (benoit.huard@northumbria.ac.uk) to confirm participation.

The meeting is supported by an LMS Scheme 1 Conference grant and by the Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences at Northumbria University.

Integrable Systems Research Event at Northumbria

Line wave 1 by Anthony Mattox CC BY-NC 2.0This is a guest blog post by Dr Sara Lombardo, Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Northumbria University:

“A two-day meeting Integrable Systems in Newcastle will take place on the 4th and 5th of October 2013 at the Department of Mathematics and Information Sciences of Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne. The event, jointly supported by the London Mathematical Society and by the Northumbria Research Conference Support Fund, celebrates four newly appointed mathematicians (Dr Sara Lombardo, Dr Matteo Sommacal, Dr Antonio Moro, and Dr Benoit Huard, in order of appointment) and promotes the activity of the research group at Northumbria within the North East and in the neighbouring Universities of Newcastle and Durham, as well as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, Loughborough and Manchester.

The workshop covers a wide range of topics in the field of integrable systems and nonlinear waves, bringing together experts from the UK community and from abroad. The list of speakers includes:

F. Calogero (Università di Roma “La Sapienza”). A. Degasperis (Università di Roma “La Sapienza”), G. El (Loughborough University), E. Ferapontov (Loughborough University), B. Huard (Northumbria University), S. Lombardo (Northumbria University), ,P. Lorenzoni (Università di Milano “Bicocca”), M. Mazzocco (Loughborough University), A. Moro (Northumbria University), J. Sanders (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), P. Santini (Università di Roma “La Sapienza”), M. Sommacal (Northumbria University), P. Sutcliffe (Durham University), J.P. Wang (University of Kent)”

Nonlinear phenomena appear everywhere in nature, from water waves to magnetic materials, from optics to weather forecasts, hence their description and understanding is of fundamental importance both from the theoretical and the applicative point of view. Nonlinear phenomena are generally described by differential equations whose solution often stands out as a challenging problem. Nevertheless, there is a special class of differential equations which are solvable (in some sense) – they are called integrable systems… [read more]
