Traveling waves arise in many fields of natural sciences, including biology, chemistry, and physics. We will learn mathematical tools that allow one to discribe the dynamics of traveling waves in reaction-diffusion systems. Besides classical systems, we will be interested in those containing time delay and spatially nonlocal interactions.
The language of the seminar is supposed to be English (with the help of German if needed).
Knowledge of ordinary differential equations and/or dynamical systems is necessary. Basic understanding of partial differential equations will be helpful.
