Functional and nonlinear analysis workshop
The workshop seeks to enhance awareness and facilitate exploration of several recent developments in the theory of both linear and nonlinear operators, the study of radical algebras and the extension of traditional nonlinear analysis into the setting of hyperbolic metric spaces.

The invited lectures will be broadcast over the Access Grid.

Key note speakers include:
  • Prof. Joseph Diestel(Kent State University, Ohio) an internationally renowned expositor and expert on the geometric theory of Banach spaces and on Grothendieck’s theory and operator ideals.
  • Prof. Anthony Lau (University of Alberta) known world-wide for his work on Banach algebras, in particular group algebras and recently the determination of classes of such algebras that enjoy the fixed point property for nonexpansive mapping on closed bounded convex sets.
  • Prof. George W. Willis (University of Newcastle) recognised for groundbreaking work in the theory of totally disconnected topological groups, the approximation property in Banach spaces and is currently developing the analogue of a spectral theory for radical algebras.

Other speakers will include:

  • Laureate Professor Jon M. Borwein (University of Newcastle)
  • Dr Jeff Hogan (University of Newcastle)
  • Dr Warren Moors (University of Auckland)

Registration is Free.
