3rd Bremen Winter School and Symposium: Diffusion on Fractals and Non-linear Dynamics

The international winter school and symposium with over 60 participants attempted to bridge a rather disparate set of topics: diffusion on fractals, quasi-crystals, non-linear waves and chaotic dynamics. Somewhat surprisingly, this worked out rather well.

4th Bremen Winter School and Symposium: Dynamics, Chaos and Applications

This year's international winter school and symposium on dynamics in Bremen focused on the mathematical concepts of chaos. More than 70 participants enjoyed lecture courses and research talks on approaches and recent developments of chaotic dynamics in skew-product and geodesic flows, ODEs as...

A Brief Biographical Sketch of Ken Meyer

Based on recent conversations with Ken Meyer, H.S. Dumas gives `the briefest possible' outline of Ken Meyer's academic life, followed by a chronological survey of some of the best and most representative parts of his work.

A brief biography of Carmen Chicone

Carmen Chicone is well known for his research in dynamical systems and applied mathematics. In May 2006, a Dynamical System Workshop was held at the University of Missouri-Columbia in honor of Carmen Chicone's 60th birthday (see also the report in DSWeb Magazine). Yuri Latushkin and Weishi...

A Brief Biography of George R. Sell

Victor Pliss (St Petersburg State University, Russia) wrote this brief biography of George Sell, which will also appear in a special issue of the Journal of Differential Equations in honor of Sell's 65th birthday.

A Conversation with Arnd Scheel

A Dynamical Systems View of the Outcomes of Viral Infections

Dynamical model of viral infections by Dixit demonstrates transitions between persistence and clearance as a bifurcation.

A Fast-Slow Dynamical System Model to Study Drug Addiction

Dynamical systems play an important role in modeling of a variety of cyclical processes in natural and manmade systems. In particular, they can be used to help to understand the mechanisms of drug addiction. Karthika Swamy Cohen tells about a recent  paper published in SIAM Journal on...

A Fast-Slow Switching Model of Banded Vegetation Pattern Formation in Drylands

A new fast-slow switching model is introduced that captures the ecohydrological processes such as infiltration of water into the soil during rainstorms and  seasonal plant growth and death.
