Objectives

In recent years, there have been great advances and developments in asymptotics including the study of exponential asymptotics and the Riemann-Hilbert approach, and of localized reaction diffusion equation with metastable behavior. Meanwhile, there has also existed significant progress in the theory of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems with many new results being obtained and various new applications being found. Such a fast advancing feature requires mathematicians in the related areas to update and refresh their knowledge and to keep good pace with the development. The purpose of this conference is to bring together top researchers in these two areas to expose their recent new results, to exchange their new ideas, to explore new methods and new applications, to discuss future directions of research, and to initiate possible research collaborations.
