The Texas Partial Differential Equations Seminar (Texas PDE) is an
annual event that brings together researchers working on partial
differential equations and related topics.
The Texas PDE was first
organized by Professors Charles Radin and Ralph Showalter at the
University of Texas at Austin in 1978. The Texas PDE has a strong
democratic tradition: There are no principal speakers, all talks are
allocated the same length of time, and there is no registration fee.
The intent is to encourage participation by young faculty and graduate
students.
The original hosts of the meeting were the University of Texas at Austin
and Texas A&M University. As more universities expressed their desire to
host the Texas PDE conference, a rotation principle was established.
This rotation rule serves as a guide to scheduling the meeting,
although the organizing committee can depart from that schedule to
accommodate preferences of organizers and attendants. The next
conferences have been planned as follows.
Requests for hosting this event should be presented at the
next conference. Also you may contact Proofessor John W. Neuberger
(jwn@unt.edu).
In an attempt to keep a record of the conferences, we have compiled
titles of talks and names of speakers from previous years.
So far, we have the following list.
Note that there are a few entries missing. If you have copies of
schedules for the missing conferences, we would appreciate
your sending a copy to Julio G. Dix, FAX 512-245-3425, or via postal
service to: Department of Mathematics, Texas
