Attractors of Hamiltonian Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Alexander Komech is Senior Scientist in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna, the Institute for Information Transmission Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Mechanics–Mathematics Department of Moscow State University (Lomonosov). He was awarded the Humboldt Research Award in 2006. He previously authored three monographs and the textbook Principles of Partial Differential Equations (2009). Elena Kopylova is Senior Scientist in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Vienna and the Institute for Information Transmission Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Her research interests include the convergence to equilibrium measures for hyperbolic PDEs and global attractors of nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs. She is the author of Dispersion Decay and Scattering Theory (2012).
