Research on Deterministic and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with Applications to Continuum Physics and Stochastic Systems Modelling
Abstract
This is a summary of research done by four senior investigators. Dafermos' research focused on a number of problems that lie at the interface of continuum mechanics and analysis. Fleming's research was concerned with optimal stochastic control theory, nonlinear filtering, large deviations for Markov diffusions, and viscosity solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. Kushner's research covered a wide range of topics in stochastic systems theory and applied probability. Souganidis worked in the area of first and second order nonlinear partial differential equations, where a number of results concerning approximations with error estimates, singular perturbations and representation formulae were found. He also worked on questions of stability of special solutions of equation in fluids, as well as the structure of solutions of equations describing flows through porous media (implosion of waves).
