RTNS2011 page: http://www.dance-net.org/rtns2011 DANCE net page: http://www.dance-net.org Vilanova i la Geltru (Spain), January 24th - 28th, 2011 This is the eighth Winter School in Dynamical Systems of the DANCE (Dinamica, Atractores y Nolinealidad: Caos y Estabilidad) Spanish network. This series of courses aims at training their participants both theoretically and in applications in the field of the nonlinear science; with the aim that theory and applications enforce each other. This will be done in an atmosphere of informal discussion, interchange of ideas and critical discussion of results. These Winter Schools should help the basic training of young researchers, whilst opening new fields for senior ones. As in the previous editions the School will consist of three courses: * Yakov Pesin (The Pennsylvania State University) Tentative title: Smooth Ergodic Theory Keywords: Lyapunov exponents, Oseledets' Theorem, nouniform hiperbolicity * Gabor Stepan (Budapest University of Technology and Economics) Tentative title: Delay equations with applications to engineering Keywords: delay equations, stability, bifurcations * Yingfei Yi (Georgia Institute of Technology) Tentative title: Multi-frequency oscillations in Dynamical Systems You can find in the web site a brief summary of each course. The registration fee is 330 euros. It includes attendance and materials. People registering early are entitled to have a reduced fee of 300 euros. As usual, there will be a number of registration and registration + accommodation grants for young participants. The deadlines are the following: -Registration Period: from September 15th to November 14th, 2010. -Registration Period with reduced fee or application for financial support: before October 31st, 2010. -Communication, by e-mail, of awarded grants: November 12th, 2010. -Publication of the list of accepted participants: November 19th, 2010. -Payment of Registration Fee: from November 22nd to December 23rd, 2010. Note: The number of available places in the school is limited. Final admissions will be done by registration order. Please, redistribute this message to those ones of your colleagues and students who might be interested.
