Title: The boundary value problem for hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations

Abstract:
A survey of the classical theory of the boundary value problem for hyperbolic systems will be given. Friedrichs’s Theory originated with symmetric hyperbolic systems whereas Kreiss’s theory is concerned with strictly hyperbolic systems. Both theories establish well-posedness for the boundary value problem provided the boundary condition satisfies certain criteria and the coefficients are sufficiently regular.

Newer results concerning rough coefficients and more general boundary conditions due to Metivier and Coulombel will be presented. Finally, conservative boundary conditions which are of particular interest in applied problems will be discussed.

This colloquium is funded by the National Science Foundation.

Local host: Daniel Toundykov
