报告摘要：
Motivated by recent experiments studying the dynamics of configurations bearing a small number of vortices in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), we illustrate that such systems can be accurately described by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) incorporating (a) vortex precession induced by the harmonic trap confining the BEC and (b) vortex-vortex interactions. The dynamics is studied in detail at the ODE level, both for the equal and opposite charge vortex pairs. Co-rotating steady states are identified about which perturbations lead to spirographic (epicyclical) motion with excellent agreement with experimental observations. A detailed analysis of the ensuing ODEs reveals the possibility of stable asymmetric states bifurcating from symmetric ones. Cases with more than two vortices are also discussed.

报告摘要：In this talk, aiming to get more insight on the relations between the higher order semidiscrete mKdV equation and higher order mKdV, we will propose a fifth order semidiscrete mKdV.We not only give its Darboux transformation, explicit solutions and conservation laws, but also show that their continuous limits yield the corresponding results for the fifth order mKdV. This is a joint work with Zhou Tong and He Peng.

报告摘要：
Recently, much attention has been paid to a class of nonlinear wave equations, which include the Camassa-Holm equation, the Degasperis-Procesi equation and their short-wave limits (the Hunter-Saxton and the reduced Ostrovsky equations), the short pulse and coupled short equations etc. These equations share some common features: (1) they are connected to some well-known integrable systems such as two-dimensional Toda-lattice via hodograph (reciprocal) transformations; (2) they admit bizarre solutions such as loop, cupon, peakon, or breather solutions.
In the present talk, we will report our recent work on integrable discretizations for this class of soliton equations. By Hirota's bilinear method and appropriate discrete Hodograph transformation, we have successfully constructed integrable discretizations for most of these soliton equations, as well as their multi-soliton solutions. In the first part of the talk, we will take a few examples from the list to show how integrable discretizations can be constructed. In the second part of the talk, we will show how these integrable discretizations can be used as a novel numerical scheme: the so-called self-adaptive moving mesh method for the numerical simulation of these nonlinear wave equations. Various numerical experiments including loop, breather and loop-breather interactions will be demonstrated in the presentation. This is a joint work with Dr. Kenichi Maruno, Dr. Yasuhiro Ohta at Kobe University of Japan and Dr. Yong Chen at East China Normal University.

报告摘要：
离散系统及其可积性的研究在过去20年中获得很大进展，推动了离散复分析、离散微分几何等新的数学工具的发展，为目前研究差分方程和离散系统一般理论提供了有效途径。这是一个关于离散系统的入门报告，介绍在离散可积系统研究中的若干基本概念、认识和方法。报告的基本内容如下：（1）如何看待离散，为什么要离散？（2）Bäcklund变换与多维相容性；（3）多维相容性作为可积准则的若干应用“多维相容性”可以定义离散系统的一种可积性。我们将举例说明如何利用多维相容性获得一个离散系统的Bäcklund变换、Lax对以及精确解。
