DE-MS-01: Continuous and Discrete Dynamical Systems
xx:xx-xx:xx, May 28--31
Organizers:
Shalmali Bandyopadhyay (University of Tennessee at Martin, USA）
Syed Abbas (Indian Institute of Technology Mandi, India)
Abstract
Dynamic equations on time-scales unify continuous and discrete dynamical systems, encompassing differential, difference, and integral equations within a single structure. This theory has gained significant interest due to its applications in biology, physics, economics, and engineering, where systems exhibit both continuous and discrete behaviors. Time-scales research enables exploration of continuous-time processes and discrete-time models, providing insights into oscillations, stability, and control. This special session brings together researchers to present advancements in time-scales theory, numerical methods, and applications. We aim to provide a platform for discussing new developments and future directions.
Topics include:- Existence, uniqueness, and stability theory
- Oscillatory behavior and asymptotics
- Numerical methods and computational techniques
- Applications in biology and medicine
- Applications in physics and engineering
- Control theory and optimization
- Discrete vs. continuous modeling comparison
- Inverse problems in dynamic equations

DE-MS-02: Spectral Geometry
xx:xx-xx:xx, May 28--31
Organizers:
Anoop T V (Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India）
Anisa Chorwadwala (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune, India)
Rajesh Mahadevan (Universidad de Concepción, Chile)
Abstract
The primary focus of this mini-symposium on Spectral Geometry is to discuss recent developments in the geometric aspects of spectral analysis. The spectral geometry investigates how the geometric properties of a domain, such as perimeter, volume, and topology, are reflected in the spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenfunctions) of certain differential operators. The modern spectral geometry is a rapidly developing area of mathematics with close connections to fields such as differential geometry, mathematical physics, differential equations, and number theory.
The mini-symposium on "Spectral Geometry" will be significant in the mathematical community. It will bring together leading experts worldwide (Asia, USA, Europe, Middle East) who will present their recent discoveries. This mini-symposium will allow participants to exchange ideas, discuss current trends, and identify new research directions.
This symposium will let young researchers get acquainted with advanced methods and tools for studying spectral geometry problems, establish contacts with leading mathematicians, and get valuable advice on developing their research projects. The event will strengthen scientific ties between universities in Nepal, India, and the rest of the world.

DE-MS-03: Fractal Geometry and Partial Differential Equations
xx:xx-xx:xx, May 28--31
Organizers:
Eric Stachura (Kennesaw State University, USA)
Dhruba Adhikari (Kennesaw State University, USA)
Abstract
There are interesting connections between partial differential equations and the underlying geometry; for instance, the classical definition of a boundary trace requires a well-defined unit normal on the boundary. However, for more exotic geometries, such as fractals, this is not well-defined. This minisymposium explores the interplay between geometry, analysis, and partial differential equations, broadly defined. Sample topics include analysis on fractals, partial differential equations, inverse problems, and wave propagation.
Speaker and Title of Talk
DE-MS-04: Recent Advances in the Theory and Applications of Differential Equations
xx:xx-xx:xx, May 28--31
Organizers:
Eduard Kirr (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA）
Nicolae Tarfulea (Purdue University Northwest, USA)
Abstract
This minisymposium will mainly address recent advances in the field of wave theory including electromagnetic, acoustic, gravitational and elastic wave propagation, active control, manipulation and scattering. Mathematical and numerical modeling techniques in these areas underpin a wide range of real-world applications. These topics are of critical importance to fundamental sciences, engineering, mathematics, and, notably, industrial applications. Examples include radar and sonar systems, medical imaging, gravitational wave detection, and wave interactions with surfaces and obstacles.
In addition to wave-related phenomena, the minisymposium will also highlight research on numerical and analytical methods for other classes of differential equations, such as those arising in fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, population dynamics, chemical reaction modeling, and financial mathematics. This could prove useful for sharing ideas and techniques between wave propagation and adjacent fields of research.
