Hung Tran, University of Wisconsin Madison, “Some selection problems in the theory of viscosity solutions”
March 23, 2017 | 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
I will explain some interesting selection problems in nonlinear PDEs. The basic question is about how to select one good solution out of many reasonable ones. A question of this type led to the whole theory of viscosity solutions in 1980s. Then I will focus on the vanishing discount problem and describe the main results, which solve an open question also in 1980s. This is a joint work with Ishii and Mitake.
