The objective of the workshop is to bring together the leading experts in differential equations in the complex domain, special functions, summability theory, asymptotic analysis, isomonodromy deformations and Riemann-Hilbert problems, in order to discuss recent progresses and open questions. Some lectures will be general overviews for young researchers. In particular we plan two courses: Symbolic methods for solving systems of linear ordinary differential equations and Asymptotic expansion and theory of summability. Moreover, some talks will be devoted to applications, particularly the analytic theory of Frobenius manifolds and quantum cohomology.

See also the official webpage of the workshop at CRM.

The main topics:

• Multisummability
• Asymptotic methods
• Computational methods of asymptotic analysis
• Painleve equations, Riemann-Hilbert problems
• Applications of linear differential equations and their isomonodromy deformation equations to the analytic theory of Frobenius manifolds
