MS75
Existence, Uniqueness and Stability of Combustion Wavefronts - Part II of II

8:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Room: Maybird

For Part I, see MS52

In recent years, problems of existence and stability of combustion wavefronts have been attacked using geometric singular perturbation theory, invariant manifolds and the Evans function. The minisimposium will gather researchers who use all these perspectives.
