One of the goals of this school is to provide latin-american students with the possibility to attend courses and lectures related to Harmonic Analysis and Geometric Measure Theory, and their applications. This school will focus on those aspects of Harmonic Analysis which recently have had a huge impact, in particular in image and signal processing. A characteristic feature is that several technological deadlocks have been solved through the resolution of deep theoretical problems in harmonic analysis and Geometric Measure Theory.

Research in the solvability of partial differential equations (PDE’s) leads us to a much wider scope. In the realization that alternative methods can be used for proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions of linear and nonlinear PDE’s, a new research area in Applied Mathematics was introduced. The theory of Sobolev spaces was developed, which turned out to be a suitable setting in which to apply ideas of functional analysis to glean information concerning PDE’s.
