Title: “Derivative gain and singularities for degenerate Laplace equation”

Abstract: Many natural phenomena from oil exploration to weather prediction to finance are modeled with differential equations (DE). The Laplace equation plays a unifying role in the world of DE. Its solutions, famously, do not have singularities, which for a related heat equation means that spontaneous boiling of the water does not happen. Singularities are fascinating. You can win $1M if you settle the question of singularities for fluid motion. I have been studying Laplace-type equations that can have singularities for more than a decade. What is different about them?

The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone who is interested in attending.

This seminar will be held virtually.
