Our mission

Juliusz P. Schauder Center for Nonlinear Studies was founded in 1991 at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. The center's mission is supporting mathematical research in the field of nonlinear analysis and its applications as well as intiating scientific relations between different research communities.

The current main activities are the following:

  • publishing a high class scientific journal TOPOLOGICAL METHODS IN NONLINEAR ANALYSIS,
  • awarding a J. P. Schauder medal for scientific achievements and contributios to nonlinear anaysis (including the appointment of a medal jury),
  • organizing lectures, conferences and scientific workshops devoted to nonlinear analysis in a wide sense,
  • publishing the LECTURE NOTES IN NONLINEAR ANALYSIS series,
  • supporting mathematically talented young people.


The center activities are supported by the Scientific Council appointed by Rector of Nicolaus Copernicus University for the time of three years.

EMS Prize for Jacek Jendrej and Adam Kanigowski

We are pleased to inform that two young Polish mathematicians, Professors Jacek Jendrej and Adam Kanigowski, have been awarded by the European Mathematical Society (EMS) during the IX European Congress of Mathematics held in Seville.
Both laureates are connected with the Juliusz Schauder Center and Toruń. Jacek Jendrej is a member of the Editorial Board of our journal TMNA and a recipient of the first J. P. Schauder Prize for young mathematicians. Adam Kanigowski completed his individual studies and wrote his master's thesis under supervision of prof. Wojciech Kryszewski at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, and he obtained his Ph.D. at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IM PAN); his supervisor was Prof. Mariusz Lemańczyk.
Since 1992, the European Mathematical Society has been awarding prizes for outstanding contributions to mathematical research. These prizes can be awarded to scientists who were no older than 35 at the time nominations began a year earlier.
The EMS Prize was awarded to Jacek Jendrej for his work on the soliton resolution conjecture and the problem of two-soliton collision for certain types of wave maps. Jacek Jendrej is a graduate of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw (MIMUW) and currently works at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. His research interests focus on partial differential equations. He has published in numerous scientific journals, including "Analysis & PDE," "American Journal of Mathematics," "Duke Mathematical Journal," and "Inventiones Mathematicae." Among the awards Jacek Jendrej has received so far are the Prix Claude-Antoine Peccot, the aforementioned J. P. Schauder Prize, and the prestigious ERC Starting Grant.
By awarding Adam Kanigowski, the EMS recognized his outstanding contribution to the spectral classification and mixing properties of slowly chaotic dynamical systems. In his research, Adam Kanigowski deals with dynamical systems and ergodic theory, as well as the interaction of these fields with number theory, geometry, and probability theory.  He is a laureate of the Polish Mathematical Society Award for Young Mathematicians, the International Stefan Banach Prize, the Kazimierz Kuratowski Award, and the IM PAN Award for outstanding scientific achievements in mathematics.


Tobias Weth - New Editor-in-Chief of TMNA

We would like to inform you of a recent change in editorial leadership of TMNA. Professor Jean Mawhin, who previously served as Editor-in-Chief, has resigned from the position. It is challenging to express our gratitude to Professor Mawhin for his many years of dedication and significant contributions to TMNA. We are convinced that thanks to Professor Mawhin, the past 20 years have been a prosperous time for our journal.

We are pleased to announce that Professor Tobias Weth from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, has accepted the role of the new Editor-in-Chief of TMNA. His research interests and substantial scientific contributions include linear and nonlinear PDE, variational, topological, and geometric methods in nonlinear analysis, nonlocal operators and associated boundary value problems, local and nonlocal geometric variational problems, symmetry, and symmetry breaking of solutions to nonlinear boundary value problems.

We appreciate Professor Mawhin's contributions and welcome Professor Weth to the new role of Editor-in-Chief of our journal. We look forward to continued success under his guidance.


Winners of the second edition of the Schauder Prize competition

In the second edition of the competition for the Juliusz Schauder Prize for young mathematicians the Prize has been awrded to Bartosz Bieganowski (Warsaw University, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń) for achievements in studying variational methods and their applications to semilinear partial differential equations. Moreover, two distinctions have also been awarded: to Wojciech Górny (Universität Wien) and to Jakub Skrzeczkowski (Warsaw University). More information may be found at the Schauder Prize website.


Pre-registration to SNA2024 is open

We kindly announce that pre-registration for the VIII Symposium on Nonlinear Analysis is open. Please spread the word about the symposium to your mathematician friends.


VIII Symposium on Nonlinear Analysis

We cordially invite you to the VIII Symposium on Nonlinear Analysis, which will be held on June 17-21, 2024 in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. It will be combined with the Juliusz Schauder Medal and the Juliusz Schauder Prize Awarding Ceremonies. For more information see the symposium website.
