Bolyai Institute is one of the major mathematical research centers in Central Europe. A strong group, led by Tibor Krisztin, already works on nonlinear functional differential equations. Applications in epidemiology will add a new research direction. The EPIDELAY team is funded by ERC and led by Gergely Rost. The main goal of this research group is to build and strengthen bridges between functional differential equations and practical epidemiology, thus applicants are welcome from both directions. Salaries are set to Hungarian scale, starting date is negotiable. CV and the contact information of two reference persons are to be submitted to epidelay@math.u-szeged.hu ------ Subject: Contents, Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series A 29:3 From: "Liwei Ning" Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:31:35 -0600 Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems Series A (DCDS-A) Volume: 29, Number: 3 March 2011 http://aimsciences.org/journals/displayPapers1.jsp?pubID=401 We offer a couple of weeks free online access to the full paper of DCDS-A 29-3.
