Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling


Welcome to Hyp2008 -- the twelfth international conference devoted to theory, numerics and applications of hyperbolic problems. The objective of the conference is to bring together scientists with interests in the theoretical, applied, and computational aspects of hyperbolic partial differential equations and related mathematical models found in diverse fields. As has been done in the past, a special effort will be made to enable young scientists to attend and to promote their interaction with the more senior researchers.

    Hyp2008 covered a wide variety of the theory, numerics and applications of hyperbolic as well as other time-dependent problems. Its scope highlighted several main themes:
    Singular limits (zero-viscosity, relaxation, incompressible limit, semi-classical limits)
    Nonlinear wave patterns in multi-dimensions
    Particle/molecular dynamics (kinetic methods, magneto-hydrodynamics)
    Theory and numerics of multiphases and interfaces (boundary layers, phase boundaries, multiphase wave propagation)
    Transport in complex environments (homogenization, semi-classical limits, scattering in random media, porous media, biological applications, network and traffic flows)
    Model reduction - coupling and decompositions (passage from microscopic to macroscopic, numerical issues in transitional regimes, decomposition of fast and slow dynamics, coupling of Lagrangian-Eulerian descriptions).

    We were very happy to host HYP2008 at the University of Maryland in June 2008.

    History (past and future) The series of international conferences on Hyperbolic Problems was initiated by C. Carasso, P.-A. Raviart, and D. Serre with the first conference held in St-Etienne, France in 1986. Since then it has been organized on a biannual basis in Aachen, Germany (1988), Uppsala, Sweden (1990), Taormina, Italy (1992), Stony Brook, USA (1994), Hong Kong (1996), Zürich, Switzerland (1998), Magdeburg, Germany (2000), Pasadena, USA (2002), Osaka, Japan (2004) and Lyon, France (2006). Following this conference in College Park (2008), the Hyp series continued in Beijing (2010), Padova (2012), Rio de Janeiro (2014) and Aachen (2016).
