Objectives


The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts as well as junior researchers who are approaching nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs from different perspectives, including numerical analysis, algorithms and applications. We will select a group of participants with common interest but with diversified backgrounds and knowledge, thereby bringing in a wider range of expertise than is possible at other venues, such as conference mini-symposia. The workshop will be composed of (1) survey talks on different methods and applications; (2) research talks on recent advances; (3) open discussions on possible collaborations and future directions. We believe that an intense five day workshop in the isolated but invigorating environment of the Banff International Research Station will provide wonderful opportunities for communication and further collaborations among participants, as well as transitions of new algorithms between subfields and into applications. The former will benefit participants, while the latter the huge community who make use of these important equations.
