MS18
Nonlinear Evolution, Separatrix Splitting, and Chaos in Dynamical Systems

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Superior A

This minisymposium will focus on singular perturbation methods used in the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of complicated dynamical systems. These methods include, but are not limited to, reductive perturbative techniques and exponential asymptotics. The speakers will discuss the scope of the current formulations, including both avenues of further development, as well as limitations and possible alternative approaches, associated techniques for the identification and characterization of chaotic/turbulent solutions, and applications to nonlinear optics, astrophysical and space plasmas, classical dynamics, and general relativity.

Organizer: S. Roy Choudhury
