Soliton Equations: Applications and Theory
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
Was held
August 10-12, 2001
This was an interdisciplinary conference with speakers addressing
successful applications of soliton equations to physical problems,
computational studies which can illuminate applications and suggest new theoretical issues,
and new theoretical results. Some of the applications included
the use of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation and its variants
for the modeling and design of long distance fiber optic communications systems,
as well as the appearance of solitons in other optical problems, magnetic thin films,
and Bose-Einstein condensates. Theoretical topics included
extensions of inverse scattering and inverse spectral theory to Schrodinger or Dirac
type operators with matrix coefficients,
connections of soliton equations with geometry, and new insights into meromorphic
or real analytic solutions of soliton equations.
The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs is located near the base of Pikes Peak.
The region offers dramatic views of the Rocky Mountains, and a variety of outdoor activities.
The weather during the summer is pleasant, with warm dry days and cool nights.
In addition to the usual amenities of a midsized city,
Colorado Springs is home to the United States Olympic Training Center and the
Air Force Academy.
