Abstract

During his one-month visit to ICMC-USP, Professor J. E. Muñoz Rivera will be collaborating in two local projects, namely, Nonlinear Dynamical Systems of Infinite Dimension, under coordination of Prof. Alexandre Nolasco de Carvalho, with grant from FAPESP (Thematic Project) and Asymptotic Stability of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations, under coordination of Prof. Ma To Fu, with grant from FAPESP. The central theme for this visiting project is the research on the dynamics given by a class of mixture of thermo-elastic solids. Professor Munoz-Rivera is a senior researcher in nonlinear dynamical systems and partial differential equations. (AU)
