The Sixth International Conference on
Differential and Functional Differential Equations

Second Announcement

The Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, with the cooperation of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia and the Lomonosov Moscow State University, is organizing the Sixth International Conference on Differential and Functional Differential Equations, August 14–21, 2011. In the framework of the conference, the International Workshop “Spatio-temporal dynamical systems” will take place (August 18–20, 2011). The scientific program will consist of invited 45-minute lectures, 30-minute lectures, and 20-minute communications.

The conference will be devoted to classical topics of the theory of differential equations and different kinds of nonlocal interactions:

• ordinary differential equations,
• dynamical systems,
• bifurcations,
• spectral theory,
• partial differential equations,
• linear and nonlinear problems of mathematical physics,
• semigroups of operators,
• asymptotic methods,
• nonlocal spatio-temporal systems,
• functional differential equations,
• applications
