Research Interests
Dr. Latushkin’ s most recent research interests are concentrated on the spectral theory of differential operators that appear when one linearizes nonlinear partial differential equations about such special solutions as steady states and traveling waves and applications to spectral, linear and nonlinear stability of the solutions. This involves a combination of analytic and geometric methods such as the Evans function, spectral mapping theorems for strongly continuous operator semi groups, Maslov index, etc.
