Searching for analytic solutions of physically relevant non-linear partial differential equations 
 
There are numerous fields in physics which deal with highly non-linear phenomena, 
and take place in space and time decribed by non-linear partial differential equations (PDE) 
such as wave phenomena, transport processes like fluid dynamics, plasma physics, high-energy 
physics or grativation. There is no existing general mathematical theory of non-linear PDEs, 
however there are some trial functions (Ansätze) like self-similar solutions, traveling 
waves which give us physically relevant reasonable solutions helping to get a deeper 
insight into the internal properties of such systems. 
In the last decades we investigated numerous PDEs, most of them were problems from 
viscous hydrodynamics [1], but heat conduction [2], non-linear electrodynamics [3] or 
quantum mechanical problems [4] were addressed as well. 
The candidate should have a solid knowledge in basic theoretical physics and 
ordinary differential equations. We can offer problems in fluid dynamics -- which is under our 
present interest --, but the research field of could be slightly changed and defined 
together with the PhD candidate.
