Call for Nomination

SIAG/APDE Prize

The SIAM Activity Group on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations (SIAG/APDE) Prize, established in 2005, is awarded to the author(s) of the most outstanding paper, as determined by the prize committee, on a topic in Partial Differential Equations published in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four calendar years preceding the year of the award.

The SIAG/APDE will present the award at the SIAM Conference on Analysis of PDE (PD11) to be held November 14-17, 2011 in San Diego, California.

Eligibility

A candidate paper must be published in English in a peer-reviewed journal bearing a publication date within the eligibility period, that is, between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2010.  It must contain significant research contributions to the field of analysis of partial differential equations, as commonly defined in the mathematical literature, with direct or potential applications.  Nominations should include a full bibliographic citation for the paper and a brief statement outlining the justification for the nomination in terms of its importance and impact.

Description of the Award

The award will consist of a plaque and a certificate containing the award citation.

At least one of the awardees is expected to attend the award ceremony and to present the paper as a plenary lecture at the meeting.  One of the plenary lectures at the meeting will be reserved for this purpose.  Travel expenses will be available to reimburse the speaker.  Should more than one author be involved in presenting the plenary lecture, reimbursement will be made only to one of the authors.
