Speaker: Changfeng Gui, University of Connecticut and IMA Time, date, place: 2pm, Tuesday, 21 February 2006, POT 845. Title: Entire Solutions in Phase Transition Abstract: Entire solutions often play an important role in the study of partial differential equations since they arrise naturally in the blow-up analysis of singularities. In this talk, I will survey some existence and symmetry results on various entire solutions related to phase transition, including the Allen-Cahn model and multi-phase model. Gui's visit is funded, in part, by the College Enrichment Fund of the College of Arts and Sciences.
