PARTIALLY SUPPORTED BY : Italian Grants: MURST60%"Geometry of PDEs and Applications'' - Faculty of Engineering - University of Rome ''La Sapienza''; MURST40%National Project:''Geometric Properties of Real and Complex Manifolds'' - (V.Ancona and S.Marchiafava); Grants-University of Rome ''La Sapienza''- ''Algebraic and Differential Topology'' (S.Marchiafava) - ''Geometry of noncommutative PDEs and Applications'' (A.Prástaro).
PURPOSE OF THE SESSION : In this session we present some recent researches in the field of functional equations. Emphasis is given to some geometric approaches for solving basic problems, particularly in the theory of partial differential equations.
