It is our greatest pleasure to announce the conference on “Evolution Equations, Operator Semigroups and Beyond” that will be held October 13-17, 2025, at the Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Attached to this e-mail you can also find the conference poster.
This conference aims to bring together leading experts in the fields of operator semigroups and evolution equations. With speakers who possess extensive expertise in these areas, we seek to foster a productive dialogue and exchange of ideas. This gathering aspires to lay a robust foundation for future dynamic exploration into the theory and applications of operator semigroups and evolution equations.
A list of possible topics for contributed talks includes, but is not limited to: Applications to Biology, Asymptotic Behavior of Operator Semigroups, Control Theory, Delay Equations, Ergodic Theory, Evolution Equations on Graphs, Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Numerical Methods of Operator Semigroups, Perturbation Theory, Port-Hamiltonian Systems, Positivity, Spectral Theory, etc.
This conference offers a unique opportunity to discuss the latest research in the area of evolution equations and operator semigroups and to engage with both local and international experts in the field. Additionally, you will have the chance to enjoy stunning coastal views and vibrant local culture. The following invited speakers are confirmed for this conference:
- Jacek Banasiak (University of Pretoria, South Africa)
- Balint Farkas (University of Wuppertal, Germany)
- Marjeta Kramar Fijavž (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)
- Christian Seifert (Technical University Hamburg, Germany)
- Sanne ter Horst (North-West University, South Africa)
- Bruce Watson (University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa)
If you are interested in participating in this conference, please visit our website,
and register for the event. The final conference fee will be published in due course and will depend on the available funding, but will be approximately R1 500 – R3 000 (75 – 150 Euro). The conference fee will include conference material, two times tea/coffee/refreshments and snacks per conference day, one day city sightseeing tour including a boat tour as well as a conference dinner comprising a two course meal at a local wine farm.
