A special scientific session to celebrate Professor Roman Srzednicki's 70th birthday will be held on
Friday, 15th of March at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Jagiellonian University.
The scientific part of the session will consist of three lectures presented by mathematicians connected with the jubilarian's
scientific interests and the activities of the Chair of Differential Equations headed by Professor Srzednicki:
Adam Kanigowski (Jagiellonian University/University of Maryland)
Marian Mrozek (Jagiellonian University)
Piotr Oprocha (AGH University)
All lectures will take place in room 1094.
After the lectures, please join us for refreshments. We cordially invite you to take part in this event.
Feel free to share this information with others interested in this event.
Program

Piotr Oprocha
On dynamics of Lorenz maps
Lorenz maps are one-dimensional maps with a single discontinuity,
which appear in a natural way as Poincaré maps in geometric models of
the well-known Lorenz attractor. In this talk we will discuss connections
between periodic points, completely invariant sets, transitivity and
renormalizations of expanding Lorenz maps.
This talk will be based in part on joint works with P. Porotski and P. Raith and with Ł. Cholewa.
11:15
Marian Mrozek
From Ważewski Theorem to Combinatorial Topological Dynamics
Both Roman and I grew up scientifically on Ważewski Retract Theorem.
Our research interests sometimes diverged, sometimes converged, but were
always somehow intertwined.
Recently, they merged again in a joint paper touching combinatorial
topological dynamics.
In the talk I will present a short story of half a century of our friendship and collaboration.

Adam Kanigowski
Chaotic properties of smooth dynamical systems
One of the central discoveries in the theory of dynamical
systems was that differentiable (or smooth) systems can display
strongly chaotic behavior and in many ways behave like a sequence of
random coin tosses. In this talk we will describe appearance and
interactions of chaotic properties in smooth dynamics. We will
highlight main developments, describe the state of the art and discuss
some open problems in the field.
All lectures will take place in room 1094.
After the lectures refreshments will be served in room 1016 (approximately at 13:15).
