| This minisymposium will cover the recent advances in analysis and modelling of nonlinear waves in
continuous and discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with PT-symmetric potentials.
The potentials of the nonlinear Schrödinger equations are said to be PT-symmetric if
they are symmetric with respect to a composition of the parity and time reversal transformations. A typical example of
such potentials is a local space-dependent potential with an even real part and an odd imaginary part.

|
Properties of both linear and nonlinear models with such potentials have been widely studied in the past five years.
The minisymposium will feature talks of both applied mathematicians and physicists reporting the recent works
on the subject. The main emphasis of this minisymposium will be on questions of global existence of time-dependent
solutions and existence of stable localized solutions in such models. |
