Sponsored by the International Mathematical Union THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on Differential and Functional Differential Equations Moscow, Russia, August 14–21, 2005

Second Announcement

The Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, with the cooperation of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and the Moscow Mathematical Society, is organizing the Fourth International Conference on Differential and Functional Differential Equations, August 14–21, 2005. The scientific program will consist of invited 45-minute lectures, 30-minute lectures, and 20-minute communications.

The conference will be devoted to classical topics of the theory of differential equations and different kinds of nonlocal interactions:

• bifurcations,
• ordinary differential equations,
• analytic aspects of dynamical systems,
• spectral theory,
• partial differential equations in functional spaces,
• linear and nonlinear problems of mathematical physics,
• semigroups of operators,
• asymptotic methods,
• singularly perturbed systems,
• attractors of evolution equations,
• boundary-value problems and nonlocal problems,
• functional differential equations and applications.
