On the long time behavior of KdV type equations
In a series of recent papers, Martel and Merle solved the long-standing open problem on the existence of blow up solutions in the energy space for the critical generalized Korteweg- de Vries equation. Martel and Merle introduced new tools to study the nonlinear dynamics close to a solitary wave solution. The aim of the talk is to discuss the main ideas developed by Martel-Merle, together with a presentation of previously known closely related results.
On the long-time behaviour of a class of parabolic SPDE’s : monotonicity methods and exchange of stability
In this article we prove new results concerning the structure and the stability properties of the global attractor associated with a class of nonlinear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations driven by a standard multidimensional brownian motion. We first use monotonicity methods to prove that the random fields either stabilize exponentially rapidly with probability one around one of the two equilibrium states, or that they set out to oscillate between them. In the first case we can...

On the Lyapunov numbers
We introduce and study the Lyapunov numbers-quantitative measures of the sensitivity of a dynamical system (X,f) given by a compact metric space X and a continuous map f: X → X. In particular, we prove that for a minimal topologically weakly mixing system all Lyapunov numbers are the same.

On the Mathematical Modelling of Microbial Growth: Some Computational Aspects
We propose a new approach to the mathematical modelling of microbial growth. Our approach differs from familiar Monod type models by considering two phases in the physiological states of the microorganisms and makes use of basic relations from enzyme kinetics. Such an approach may be useful in the modelling and control of biotechnological processes, where microorganisms are used for various biodegradation purposes and are often put under extreme inhibitory conditions. Some computational experiments are...

On the minimum dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeromorphisms on surfaces of small genus
We find the minimum dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms that stabilize an orientable foliation on surfaces of genus three, four, or five, and provide a lower bound for genus six to eight. Our technique also simplifies Cho and Ham’s proof of the least dilatation of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms on a genus two surface. For genus to , the minimum dilatation is the smallest Salem number for polynomials of degree .
On the mobility and efficiency of mechanical systems
It is shown that self-locomotion is possible for a body in Euclidian space, provided its dynamics corresponds to a non-quadratic Hamiltonian, and that the body contains at least 3 particles. The efficiency of the driver of such a system is defined. The existence of an optimal (most efficient) driver is proved.

On the multiplicity of brake orbits and homoclinics in Riemannian manifolds
Let be a complete Riemannian manifold, an open subset whose closure is diffeomorphic to an annulus. If is smooth and it satisfies a strong concavity assumption, then it is possible to prove that there are at least two geometrically distinct geodesics in starting orthogonally to one connected component of and arriving orthogonally onto the other one. The results given in [5] allow to obtain a proof of the existence of two distinct homoclinic orbits for an autonomous Lagrangian system emanating...

On The Notions of Mating
The different notions of matings of pairs of equal degree polynomials are introduced and are related to each other as well as known results on matings. The possible obstructions to matings are identified and related. Moreover the relations between the polynomials and their matings are discussed and proved. Finally holomorphic motion properties of slow-mating are proved.

On the Number of Partitions of an Integer in the -bonacci Base
For each we consider the -bonacci numbers defined by for and for When these are the usual Fibonacci numbers. Every positive integer may be expressed as a sum of distinct -bonacci numbers in one or more different ways. Let be the number of partitions of as a sum of distinct -bonacci numbers. Using a theorem of Fine and Wilf, we obtain a formula for involving sums of binomial coefficients modulo In addition we show that this formula may be used to determine the number of partitions...
