III Potsdam-V Kiev International Workshop on Nonlinear Processes in Physics. Held in Potsdam, New York on August 1-11, 1991
Abstract
The III Potsdam-V Kiev Workshop on Nonlinear Processes in Physics was held at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY from August 1-11, 1991. It was sponsored by the Clarkson School of Science and was funded by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the US Air Force of Scientific Research, the US Office of Naval Research, the Sloan Foundation and the School of Science of Clarkson University. The organizing committee was A.S. Fokas, D.J. Kaup, A.C. Newell and V.E. Zakharov. This was the first major scientific workshop in the USA where the Soviet scientists formed a major contingent of the participants. There were 31 USSR participants out of a total of 106 participants. The emphasis of the workshop was on the interaction between mathematical techniques and problems of physical interest. It was particularly successful in mixing plasma physicists, fluid physicists and soliton theorists. The exchanges between these groups, particularly with the participation of the Soviet delegation, were quite stimulating. The most difficult part of the organization of this conference was the travel arrangements of the Soviet participants. We appreciate the efforts of Ildar Gabitov in this direction. However, in spite of our efforts several invited Soviet scientists were not able to attend, mainly because of difficulties in arranging their travel to the USA.
