I will talk about various lattice dynamical systems with long range interaction and related integro-differential evolution equations.
These arise in the modeling of phase transitions for a binary material, as models for the dispersal of organisms and from activity in families of neurons. Included here
are nonlocal analogs of the wave equation, Allen-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations.
