June 04, 2009 Eyal Ron Dynamical Systems Approach to Uniqueness Problems
The lecture presents a dynamical systems approach for handling uniqueness problems in nonautonomous planar systems. The method is shown while being applied to a problem of uniqueness of a ground state of the continuum limit of a strictly anharmonic multi-dimensional lattice. Although this problem, and even a more general version of it, was already solved by Pucci and Serrin, we believe that our method sheds a new light on it.
Our solution to the uniqueness problem has two parts it. In the first one we deal with the region u>0 and give a uniqueness result for it. The second part presents a local result, i.e. that is independent of the initial condition, when analyzing what happens near the origin. In addition we discuss Pucci and Serrin's solution to the problem, and presents it while using some concepts and results from the dynamical systems approach.

June 25, 2009 Özgür Kesim The Kasner Siblings in Bianchi-Cosmologies
Given the - now infamous - 5-dim. ODE for the Bianchi-cosmologies we exploit the equivariance of the equation and the geometry of the phase-space to derive a geometrically scaled version of the original equation which allows us to give a detailed description of the phase-portrait of a four-dimensional neighborhood of the Kasner-circle and uncovers a new - and maybe main - character in the Bianchi-Opera: a sibling of the Kasner-Map in the N-space.
