Analysis and Partial Differential Equations

The research in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations at the BGSMath covers a broad range of topics, from classical function theory in one and several complex variables to the study of Banach spaces and its operators. The interplay between singular operators and geometric function theory has been very succesful.

On PDE’s the research at the BGSMath is centered around reaction-diffusion and integro-differential equations (regularity and qualitative properties of solutions), population dynamics and biological evolution, as well as several wave problems in mathematical physics and mathematical modelling.
