Top mathematicians and researchers discuss latest developments at AUS Workshop on Analysis and Its Applications

Mathematicians and researchers from UAE universities convened recently at the Fourth American University of Sharjah (AUS) Workshop on Analysis and Its Applications on campus to discuss the latest developments in the field.

Organized by Dr. Cristian Enache and Dr. Issam Louhichi, Associate Professors in Mathematics and Statistics at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at AUS, the workshop featured presentations of scientists’ work in the mathematical areas of nonlinear elliptic problems, free boundary problems using the maximum principle approach, matrix summability of Walsh-Fourier series, Sobolev-Adams embedding theorems in borderline cases, introduction to variable exponent spaces, enhanced dissipation for the 2D Couette flow and efficient nonlinear filter stabilization of the Leray-alpha Model. The event was sponsored by the Office of Advancement and Alumni Affairs at AUS.

“The workshop allowed leading mathematicians and researchers to exchange information and opinions on the developments in pure and applied analysis, including partial differential equations. As mathematicians and researchers, we found the papers that were shared important in broadening our knowledge in the field of analysis, which is the theme of the workshop this year,” said Dr. Abdul Salam Jarrah, Professor and Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at AUS.

He added: “Mathematical analysis is important in almost every real-life application. One of the crucial concepts students learn in analysis is derivative, which is the rate of change that occurs with respect to a variable. This is particularly important when applied to areas of physics, social sciences, economy, finance and others.”

The mathematics workshops have proved to be a success since their launch in 2017 and have featured prominent scientists throughout the years, such as Professor Alexey Karapetyants from Southern Federal University in Russia and Professor Roland Duduchava from Razmadze Mathematical Institute in Georgia.

“Many of the scientists who attended our workshops remained in contact with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at AUS and have come back as speakers in student seminars or collaborated with our faculty members in research. We are glad to have concluded a successful workshop this year and we are looking forward to next year’s event, which will focus on data science,” said Dr. Jarrah.

Housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides core education in mathematics and statistics that equips students with the quantitative and reasoning skills to be life-long learners and successful professionals in their fields. The department conducts internationally recognized research, and engages with the wider community through professional consultation, academic collaboration, and other outreach activities. It offers several majors and minors including a bachelor of science and a master of science in mathematics, and minors in actuarial mathematics, applied and computational mathematics and data science.
