# Joint Colloquium: Zinchenko -- Nonlinear Fourier Analysis

This would be the second talk of this Friday’s doubleheader
joint colloquium afternoon.

-----------------------------------------------------------

**NOTICE**: the first talk announced earlier is changed to
2-3PM. There is no other change except that the lunch group
now meets at 12:30PM. The scnews on that has been updated.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Speaker: Dr. Maxim Zinchenko (Univ. Of Central Florida)

Time: Friday, March 2rd, 3--4PM

Room: Carslaw 275 (Sydney Univ.)

-----------------------------------------------

Title: Nonlinear Fourier Analysis

Abstract: in this talk, I will give an overview of spectral
theory as a nonlinear analog of Fourier analysis. There are
several classes of nonlinear differential equations (among
which are KdV and nonlinear Schroedinger equations) that
could be solved with the help of spectral theory. As an
illustration, I will discuss a system of exponentially
interacting particles known as the Toda lattice whose
solution is based on the spectral theory of Jacobi matrices.
In addition, I will discuss recent developments in nonlinear
analysis and, in particular, present a nonlinear analog of
Parseval’s identity and a nonlinear version of the
Riemann--Lebesgue lemma.

-----------------------------------------------

Lunch: we meet around 12:30PM at the Level 2 entry to
Carslaw Building (possibly with quite some construction
work going on) and then head to Grandstand (arriving
around 12:45PM).
