Dr. Xiaoming WANG
We are interested in partial differential equations and their applications in a very broad sense (including modelling, analysis, computation and more).
Each registered student must give a presentation.
All are welcome.

Title: Monotone operator
Abstract:
Solution to "suitable" finite dimensional approximate problem of an infinite dimensional problem does not necessarily converge. We show that this is not an issue if the equation/problem under investigation has some kind of monotonicity and coercivity. In particular, we will prove the Minty-Browder theorem and discuss its applications to the analysis of PDEs.

Title: Monotone numerical schemes
Abstract:
Many times it is desirable to design monotone numerical scheme for PDE models.
Minty-Browder Theorem guarantees the (unique) solvability of the scheme which is a sort after feature.
Han will present examples of such schemes and verify that the monotonicity and other conditions (coercivity ...).
