“On the wave equation for a subelliptic operator”
Prof. S. Thangavelu
Dept. of Mathematics, IISc, Bangalore
Abstract: We plan to discuss $ L^p $ boundedness of solutions of the wave equation associated to the Grushin operator $ G = -\Delta-|x|^2\partial_t^2 $ on $ \R^{n+1} $. We use tools from harmonic Analysis to achieve the $ L^p $ estimates.

“Optimal Control problem in Conservation Law”
Prof. Adimuthi
TIFR- CAM, Bangalore
Abstract: Here we give an easy algorithm to capture an optimal control governed by a conservation law with strict convex flux in one space dimension.
“A fundamental lemma of J.L. Lions and its far-reaching consequences”
Prof. Philippe G. Ciarlet
City University of Hong Kong
Abstract: A fundamental lemma of J.L Lions regarding a distribution with all its partial derivatives in H^ {-1}, states that the distribution is indeed in L^2. Several important applications of this lemma in linear and nonlinear cases are illustrated.
“Functional inequalities and the symmetry properties of the extremal functions”
Prof. Maria Esteban
CEREMADE Université Paris- Dauphine
Abstract: In this talk I will present recent work, in collaboration with J. Dolbeault, M. Loss, G. Tarantello and A. Tertikas, about the symmetry properties of extremal functions for (interpolation) functional inequalities playing an important role in the study of long time behavior of evolution diffusion equations. Optimal constants are rarely known; in fact one can write them explicitely only when the extremals enjoy maximal symmetry. This is why the knowledge of the parameters' regions where symmetry is achieved is of big importance. In the case of symmetry breaking, the underlying phenomena are analysed.

Variational forms for the inverses of integral logarithmic operators over an interval"
Prof. Jean-Claude Nedelec
Directeur de Recherches,
Centre de Mathematiques Appliquees
Ecole Polytechnique, France
Abstract: We present explicit and exact variational formulations for the weakly singular and
hypersingular operators over an interval as well as for their corresponding inverses. We show that a symmetric and antisymmetric decomposition leads to precise coercivity results in Sobolev spaces and characterize the mismatch occurring between associated functional spaces in this limiting case. Moreover, we are able to define Calder\'on-type identities in each case.
“Symmetry results for cooperative elliptic systems”
Prof. Filomena Pacella
Sapienza Université de Roma
Abstract: We show some recent results (in collaboration with L. Damascelli) on the foliated Schwarz symmetry of solutions of cooperative elliptic systems. The nonlinear term is assumed to be convex and we consider solutions having (linearized) Morse index less or equal to the dimension of the space.

"Vibrations of thin piezoelectric shells: Two dimensional approximation"
Prof. Sabu Nicholas
IIST, Trivandrum
Abstract: We consider the eigenvalue problem for thin piezoelectric shell, of thickness $\ep$, clamped along a portion of its lateral surface under the geometrical assumption that the space of inextensional displacement is infinite dimensional. We then show that the eigensolutions converge, as the thickness goes to zero, to the eigensolutions of the two-dimensional flexural shell.
