This conference takes place in the framework of the activities of INDAM and it focus on recent major advances in the study of nonlinear hyperbolic systems. General theoretical issues such as symmetrizability, singularities, low regularity or dispersive perturbations will be addressed.
The last decade has been marked by important breakthroughs in the study of physical phenomena where the theory of hyperbolic systems plays a central role. The conference will pay specific attention also to these applications. In particular nonlinear optics, shock theory (stability, relaxation) and fluid mechanics (boundary layers, water waves, Euler equations, geophysical flows, etc.).
The conference is organized for celebrating the 65th birthday of Guy Métivier.
