Aims and scope

There is a number of physical phenomena for which the Lévy processes and, in particular, a-stable processes can be used as a reasonable model. Examples of such non-Gaussian processes coming from fluid mechanics, solid state physics, fluid mechanics, polymer chemistry, biology, mathematical finance, etc. motivated several scientists to study linear and nonlinear initial-boundary value problems containing so-called Lévy operators. These integro-differential operators are the infinitesimal generators of a Lévy process (sometimes also called as an anomalous diffusion). Notice that the fractional Laplacian is a particular example of the Lévy operator.

The goal of the conference is to gather specialists working in two different fields — stochastic processes and nonlinear partial differential equations — in order to exchange experiences, ideas, and methods used in the study of models involving nonlocal operators motivated by Lévy processes and long range dependence phenomena. Moreover, recognized experts will be invited to give expository plenary talks accessible for PhD students and young researchers.

More detailed topics of the conference are given below:

  • Boundary value problems for Lévy processes
  • Spectral theory for nonlocal operators
  • Fokker-Planck equations with anomalous diffusions
  • Kinetic equations and anomalous diffusion limit
  • Evolution equations with Lévy operators: fractal conservation laws (with the fractional Laplacian), nonlocal models for chemotaxis, the quasigeostrophic equation, ect.
  • Nonlocal operators in dislocation dynamics
  • Boltzmann equation versus the fractional diffusion equation
