Constantine Dafermos, Brown University, Energy dissipation at maximal rate
March 21, 2018 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
The lecture will consider the case of evolution equations, endowed with a “free energy,” for which the initial value problem possesses multiple solutions, with an eye to examining whether the particular solution that maximizes the rate of energy decay enjoys a special status.
