Welcome

The organizing committee and the Department of Mathematics: Analysis, Logic and Discrete Mathematics at Ghent University are pleased to invite you to participate in the International Conference on Generalized Functions GF2020, to be held at Ghent, Belgium, from August 31 to September 4, 2020. The conference is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Prof. Stevan Pilipović.

Organization

The GF2020 will take place at Ghent University as an in-person event. However, there will also be the possibility to participate remotely online.

Aims and scope

This conference continues a long-standing tradition of international conferences on generalized functions gathering researchers working in all branches of this field. The most recent conferences were held in Novi Sad (Serbia, 2018), Dubrovnik (Croatia, 2016), Southampton (United Kingdom, 2014), Martinique (France, 2011) and Vienna (Austria, 2009). The GF2020 aims at a broad coverage of research on generalized functions and their applications in and interactions with other areas of mathematics. Topics include, but are not limited to:
  • Distributions, ultradistributions, hyperfunctions and algebras of generalized functions
  • Linear and non-linear differential equations and stochastic analysis
  • Pseudodifferential operators and microlocal analysis
  • Geometric problems and non-linear distributional geometry
  • Applications in mathematical modelling and mathematical physics
  • Harmonic analysis, time-frequency analysis and function spaces
  • Functional analytic methods in the theory of generalized functions
