Event details
Fridtjof Brauns will speak about Phase-space geometry of
reaction-diffusion dynamics. (Please note the earlier time of 10:30.)
The talk should be of particular interest to those working on
non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Experimental studies of protein pattern formation (both in vivo and in
vitro) have stimulated new interest in the dynamics of
reaction--diffusion systems. However, a comprehensive theoretical
understanding of the dynamics of such highly nonlinear, spatially
extended systems is still missing. Here we show how a description in
phase space, which has proven invaluable in shaping our intuition
about the dynamics of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, can
be generalized to mass-conserving reaction--diffusion (McRD) systems.
