DFDE-2022, conference of leading mathematicians ended at RUDN University
200 mathematicians — leading experts in the field of differential and functional-differential equations from Russia, Great Britain, Germany, Israel, Italy, USA, France and South Korea made reports on the latest achievements in this field, as well as topical applications. The DFDE conference is the largest regular conference in Russia in the field of differential equations and their applications.
“All conferences since the first conference in 1994, have been interdisciplinary. In addition to differential equations, the DFDE-2022 conference considered the latest achievements in related areas of mathematics that can have a significant impact on the development of differential equations: in mathematical physics, in the theory of dynamical systems and in the spectral theory of operators, as well as in applications to plasma theory, hydrodynamics , mathematical modeling in medicine, and others,” said Alexander Skubachevsky, scientific director of the RUDN University Mathematical Institute, professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation.
Outstanding mathematicians spoke at the DFDE-2022 conference at RUDN University, including 7 invited speakers of International Mathematical Congresses of different years, 3 Academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences and 9 Corresponding Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, including:
- Sergey Novikov — laureate of the Lenin and Fields Prizes, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, with a report “Nonlinear waves and solitons”;
- Dmitry Treschev — Director of the Steklov Mathematical Institute, RAS, Academician of the RAS, with a report “Linearization by means of function parameter”;
- Iskander Taimanov — Head of Department of the Institute of the Sobolev Mathematical Institute, RAS, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, with a report “Singularities of solutions to soliton equations represented by L,A,B-triples and the zero level discrete spectra of
L-operators”; - Loran Veron — professor at the University of Tours (France), with a report “Singular boundary value problems for mixed quasilinear equations”.
On October 7–10, 2024 RUDN University Space Week traditionally took place. This event was dedicated to the World Space Week, which is celebrated annually in accordance with the UN General Assembly Resolution 54/68 (December 6, 1999) from October 4 to 10 to commemorate the launch of the first artificial satellite Sputnik-1 on October 4, 1957, and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty on October 10, 1967 – the fundamental international treaty in the field of international space law.
A RUDN agrotechnologist has identified wheat genotypes that are resistant to a dangerous fungal pathogen that infects plants even before the snow melts and reduces yields.
RUDN University engineers have calculated the parameters of a system that can prevent lunar power plants from overheating. These developments will be needed when planning for long-term lunar missions and colonizing the satellite.
