Speaker: Professor Yujin Guo, University of Minnesota.

Title:  Partial Differential Equations Arising from Electrostatic MEMS.

Abstract: We introduce a nonlinear evolution equation with an inverse-square type nonlinearity, 
which describes the dynamical deflection of a simple electrostatic Micro-Electromechanical System (MEMS) device. 
In the second-order parabolic case, various qualitative properties of  solutions are also discussed.
