Partial Differential Equations and Applications
The scientific activity of the Group is devoted to the study of equations and systems of equations of partial differential equations arising in applications, with particular reference to phase transition phenomena, dynamics of liquid crystals, population dynamics. The Group is interested in both the modeling and analytical aspects.
