An afternoon with Nicolai V. Krylov

12 November, 2007

The Maxwell Institute's Centre for Analysis and

Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Local Organiser: James Wright


Information

This is an afternoon event in PDEs sponsered by the Maxwell Institute's Centre for Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs. It will take place at the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences
ICMS, 14 India Street, Edinburgh.

Professor Krylov will give two talks, both with the title

A new approach to parabolic and elliptic equations with VMO coefficients

Abstract

These two lectures consist of two parts. In the first part we present with proofs the main tools from Real Analysis and give a simple example of proving the solvability of elliptic equations with VMO coefficients. In the second part we present the results obtained by using the techniques explained in the first part. A wide class of elliptic and parabolic equations with measurable coefficients will be treated. As an immediate consequence we obtain weak uniqueness of diffusions for a class of operators much wider than those considered by Stroock and Varadhan.

The first lecture will begin at 15.00 and there will be a coffee/tea break from 16.00-16.30.
