Partial Differential Equations

Description
Partial Differential Equations show up in almost all fields of exact sciences. Within this broad scope, research at UConn's math department focuses mainly on the following topics:

  • Linear partial differential equations and Brownian motion.
  • Nonlinear Analysis: the Mountain Pass Theorem
  • The Gierer Meinhardt model
  • Bose Einstein condensates
  • Virtual Cell Project
