Abstract for the talk at 26.03.2014 (14:00 h)

Colloquium of the Max Planck Institute

Michael Struwe (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
The supercritical Lane-Emden equation and its gradient flow
See the video of this talk.

Colloquium on the occasion of Wolfgang Hackbuschs retirement.

In joint work with Simon Blatt and Melanie Rupflin we lay out a functional analytic framework for the Lane-Emden equation −Δu = u|u|^p−2 on an n-dimensional domain, n ≥ 3, in the supercritical regime when p > and study the associated gradient flow.

After the talk there will be a reception at the institutes library.
