The Dirichlet Problem
Speaker
Professor Wolfgang Arendt, University of Ulm, Germany
Abstract
The Dirichlet problem has a long history: Dirchlet tried to solve it by variational methods, Perron found an ingenious weak solution, Wiener obtained a characterization of well posedness in terms of his famous capacity condition, Stampacchia – in the light of the Di Giorgi-Nash result – investigated the Dirichlet problem for general elliptic operators.
We will tell the story of this fascinating problem explaining also some very new results in cases where the maximum principle does not hold. We also explain how the solution of the Dirichlet problem can be used to solve a parabolic problem via semigroup theory.
Problems and Recent Methods in Operator Theory 2015
PLENARY SPEAKERS:
- Isabelle Chalendar – Institut Camille Jordan, University of Lyon , France.
- Eva Gallardo-Gutiérrez – ICMAT, UCM, Spain
- Pamela Gorkin – Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA
- Dijana Ilišević – University of Zagreb, Croatia
- Beata Randrianantoanina – Miami University, Ohio, USA
- Ajit Iqbal Singh – INSA Honorary Scientist, India
Aim & Scope:
This workshop gathered a group of leading researchers in Operator Theory, early career mathematicians and graduate students. There were six plenary lectures and a poster session with 12 participants. The lectures, posters and informal periods for discussion fostered ties for further collaboration and possibly promoted an active mathematical network.
