Newark, New jersey. It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to promote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex.

    Welcome Welcome to Santiago 2018! We are delighted to welcome friends and colleagues to our home city of Santiago for the XII GAFEVOL Congress 2018. Continuing the successful trend of past Congresses, the 2018 Congress in Santiago shows how important the GAFEVOL Congress has become as a regular platform accommodating the rapid pace of progress in the Evolution Equations and Functional Analysis field and for presenting the results of studies which have a direct impact on the applications. GAFEVOL 2018 will provide a Scientific Programme that builds on the highly successful models from previous Congresses, while incorporating innovative suggestions from valuable stakeholders. This Congress will feature presentations of some of the most recent research including controllability of systems, chaotic dynamics of non local models, advances on existence, periodicity, mild solutions, classical solutions, extensions, global bifurcation, and convergence of solutions for different classes of ODE's and PDE's. Also, applications in stochastic models in epidemiology and damage models will be treated. We wish you a pleasant stay in Santiago. Enjoy the Congress!.

    I - INTRODUÇÃO O IMPA , criado em 1952 no âmbito do CNPq e hoje parte do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia, tem como atividades principais: 1. Realização de Pesquisas Matemáticas e Aplicações. 2. Difusão do Conhecimento Matemático 3. Formação de Novos Pesquisadores e Professores para as Universidades 4. Desenvolvimento de Projetos de Melhoria do Ensino de Matemática em todos os níveis. Essas atividades visam situar nosso país na vanguarda do conhecimento matemático, objetivo essencial para a prosperidade da Sociedade. De fato, não se pode almejar independência, bem-estar e progresso sem que se possua uma tecnologia criativa e inovadora. Esta, por sua vez, só existirá como conseqüência de um avançado grau de desenvolvimento científico e na base de tal desenvolvimento encontra-se indubitavelmente a matemática. O IMPA tornou-se nos últimos trinta anos um centro de vanguarda no Brasil e na América Latina, tanto pela excelência de sua pesquisa como pela formação de jovens cientistas e na difusão de matemática, merecendo amplo reconhecimento nacional e internacional por seu trabalho. Mais recentemente, a partir das áreas da matemática em que tem atuado, vem crescendo o número de projetos de aplicações a outras áreas da Ciência ou de interesse do setor produtivo. A ação do IMPA nas linhas básicas de suas atividades muito o aproxima das universidades brasileiras atuando para seu pleno desenvolvimento na área da matemática. Sua contribuição às universidades e outros centros científicos, têm sido feita através de seu programa de formação de pesquisadores e pessoal docente de alto nível, dos programas de pós-doutorado e de pesquisadores visitantes, dos Colóquios Brasileiros de Matemática e da publicação de textos primorosos em todos os níveis desde o ensino secundário até a ponta da pesquisa, passando pela coleção de livros Matemática Universitária destinada à melhoria do ensino universitário, como também do acesso à sua excelente biblioteca e da ampla colaboração de seus pesquisadores a outras instituições brasileiras.
