New directions in geometric evolution equations. Diffusion occurs in natural processes such as crystal growth and flame propagation and is also used as a technique in image processing. This project will allow Australian researchers to develop new methods for analysis of the mathematics underlying diffusion and to apply these methods to prove new theoretical results with broad applications.
Harmonic analysis and spectral analysis of differential operators. Harmonic analysis has had a profound influence in many areas of mathematics, including partial differential equations. This project is at the frontier of research, closely related to theoretical work of applied technology such as signal processing, financial modelling and it ensures that Australia maintains a high research profile in this field.
Heat kernel and Riesz transform on non-compact metric measure spaces. This project will develop new techniques in heat kernel theory, with applications to such important topics as Schrodinger model for quantum mechanics. The proposed research is at the forefront of research in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations and will further enhance Australia's high international standing in these research fields.
Harmonic analysis of rough oscillations. This project intends to explore new perspectives in harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques used in many branches of science and engineering to analyse complex signals (functions). It is highly effective in modelling phenomena such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but it is currently limited to propagation occurring in a simple-enough medium. An intense international research effort in harmonic analysis is curr ....Harmonic analysis of rough oscillations. This project intends to explore new perspectives in harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques used in many branches of science and engineering to analyse complex signals (functions). It is highly effective in modelling phenomena such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but it is currently limited to propagation occurring in a simple-enough medium. An intense international research effort in harmonic analysis is currently under way to lift this limitation. This project is part of that effort, and aims to unite two of its fundamental directions of development: one focusing on the roughness of the medium; and one focusing on the interaction between highly oscillatory aspects of the function and the geometry of the medium.Read moreRead less
