Andrew Pickering Area de Matematica Aplicada, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid Non-isospectral scattering problems: some fruitful applications Wednesday 15th, June 14:05-14:55pm, Carslaw Building Room 373. We discuss various applications of non-isospectral scattering problems of a certain form in 2+1 dimensions. It is found that they are extremely useful in solving a range of interesting problems. We exploit their link with linear problems for ODEs, and their use in the construction of hierarchies of equations.
