Gustavo A. Ponce (born 20 April 1952 in Venezuela [1] ) is a Venezuelan mathematician.
Ponce graduated from the Central University of Venezuela with a bachelor's degree in 1976. At the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University he graduated with a master's degree in 1980 and a Ph.D. in 1982 with thesis Long time stability of solutions of nonlinear evolution equations under the supervision of Sergiu Klainerman (and Louis Nirenberg). [2] Ponce was a visiting lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley from 1982 to 1984, an assistant professor at the Central University of Venezuela from 1984 to 1986, and an assistant professor at the University of Chicago from 1986 to 1989. He was from 1989 to 1991 an associate professor at Pennsylvania State University and is since 1991 a full professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. [3]
He was a visiting professor for brief periods at many academic institutions, including the University of Bonn in 1989, the University of Paris-Sud in 1997 (and again in 2003 and 2012), MSRI in 2001, the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) in 2002 (and again in 2010), the Institute for Advanced Study in 2004, the Institute Henri Poincaré in 2009, the Autonomous University of Madrid in 2011, the University of the Basque Country in 2015, and IHES in 2016. [3]
Ponce does research on nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) using PDE solutions to equations in mathematical physics, such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations of hydrodynamics.
He was on the editorial boards of Transactions of the AMS from 2006 to 2014 and the Memoirs of the AMS from 2006 to 2014. [3] In 1998 he was an Invited Speaker with talk On nonlinear dispersive equations at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. [4] In 2012 he was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
Jean Louis, baron Bourgain was a Belgian mathematician. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1994 in recognition of his work on several core topics of mathematical analysis such as the geometry of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory and nonlinear partial differential equations from mathematical physics.
The Bôcher Memorial Prize was founded by the American Mathematical Society in 1923 in memory of Maxime Bôcher with an initial endowment of $1,450. It is awarded every three years for a notable research work in analysis that has appeared during the past six years. The work must be published in a recognized, peer-reviewed venue. The current award is $5,000.

Pierre-Louis Lions is a French mathematician. He is known for a number of contributions to the fields of partial differential equations and the calculus of variations. He was a recipient of the 1994 Fields Medal and the 1991 Prize of the Philip Morris tobacco and cigarette company.
In theoretical physics, the (one-dimensional) nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a nonlinear variation of the Schrödinger equation. It is a classical field equation whose principal applications are to the propagation of light in nonlinear optical fibers and planar waveguides and to Bose–Einstein condensates confined to highly anisotropic, cigar-shaped traps, in the mean-field regime. Additionally, the equation appears in the studies of small-amplitude gravity waves on the surface of deep inviscid (zero-viscosity) water; the Langmuir waves in hot plasmas; the propagation of plane-diffracted wave beams in the focusing regions of the ionosphere; the propagation of Davydov's alpha-helix solitons, which are responsible for energy transport along molecular chains; and many others. More generally, the NLSE appears as one of universal equations that describe the evolution of slowly varying packets of quasi-monochromatic waves in weakly nonlinear media that have dispersion. Unlike the linear Schrödinger equation, the NLSE never describes the time evolution of a quantum state. The 1D NLSE is an example of an integrable model.
Luis Ángel Caffarelli is an Argentine-American mathematician. He studies partial differential equations and their applications. Caffarelli is a professor of mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, and the winner of the 2023 Abel Prize.
In mathematics, the viscosity solution concept was introduced in the early 1980s by Pierre-Louis Lions and Michael G. Crandall as a generalization of the classical concept of what is meant by a 'solution' to a partial differential equation (PDE). It has been found that the viscosity solution is the natural solution concept to use in many applications of PDE's, including for example first order equations arising in dynamic programming, differential games or front evolution problems, as well as second-order equations such as the ones arising in stochastic optimal control or stochastic differential games.
