The VDSP Academy 2021 presented an overview on the field of evolutionary PDEs in the context of physical systems. In a first part the methods necessary to study a wide range of PDEs were introduced by Prof. Roland Donninger and reviewed with a focus on their applicability to the problems at hand.
In a second part specific types of PDEs were discussed by Prof. David Fajman and their solutions analysed by use of the aforementioned methods. The classes of equations considered in the course centered on nonlinear wave equations and applications to gravitational waves. This course provided the audience with a survey of the field with references to further advanced courses, which respectively concern the specific topics.
The univie: summer school "VDSP Academy 2021 on Partial Differential Equations in Mathematical Physics" was organized by the VDSP and supported by the Faculty of Mathematics and the Vienna School of Mathematics.
