Program Scope: The 5^th International Conference on Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems will be held in the University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg, Texas, USA, December16-18, 2006. The objective of this conference is to share the recent progress and advances in the theory and applications of differential equations and dynamical systems. Researchers and educators in all fields of differential equations, functional equations, difference equations, applied analysis, dynamics and applications including modeling and computations are invited to attend and share their research results. This conference provides a unique international forum where exciting interactions and communications take place among researchers and it brings fruitful direction and collaborations to the world community. There will be several invited lectures covering recent developments in problems of current interest and important applications in various disciplines. Topics of interest include (but not limited to) the following:

Ordinary differential equations

Partial differential equations

Dynamical systems

Delay differential equations

Stochastic differential equations

Difference equations

Discrete maps and iterative functional systems

Nonlinear evolution equations

Numerical methods for differential equations
