Research Group Nonlinear
Partial Differential Equations
Our research group conducts research in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations.
The scientists of the group are involved in projects of the Collaborative Research Center 1173 "Wave Phenomena - Analysis and Numerics" at KIT: A6, A14, AP 9, AP 8, B3. For more information see here.

The seminar features regular talks during the lecture period by internal speakers and external guests on recent research progress in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations.
For further information please contact Robert Wegner.
Winter semester 2025 will be announced soon.

Unser Seminar findet jeden Mittwoch um 11:30 im Raum SR 3.069 statt.
In diesem Semester wird das Seminar hauptsächlich persönlich stattfinden. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit das Seminar, auf Anfrage der Gruppenmitglieder die nicht persönlich teilnehmen können, in hybrider Form zu organisieren.
