Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations on Graphs

Abstract

One-dimensional metric graphs in two and three-dimensional spaces play an important role in emerging areas of modern science such as nano-technology, quantum physics, and biological networks. The workshop focused on the analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations on metric graphs, especially on the bifurcation and stability of nonlinear waves on complex graphs, on the justification of Kirchhoff boundary conditions, on spectral properties and the validity of amplitude equations for periodic graphs, and the existence of ground states for the NLS equation with and without potential.
