This special Issue of Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series S entitled Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetism: Theory andNumerical Approximation'' is in honor of the two leading ItalianMathematicians Paolo Secchi and Alberto Valli and this volume containspapers that engage a wide set of modern topics in the theory of linearand nonlinear partial differential equations and their applications.
Paolo Secchi was born in 1954 in Trento (Italy) and graduated inMathematics at the University of Trento in 1978, under the supervisionof Prof. Hugo Beirão da Veiga. Since 1996 he is Full Professor inMathematical Analysis at the University of Brescia. His research hasranged from Fluid Dynamics to the mathematical theory of NonlinearHyperbolic Equations and Systems. His current major interests focus onFree Boundary Problems in Fluid and Magneto-hydrodynamics andInitial-Boundary Value Problems for Hyperbolic Systems.
Alberto Valli was born in 1953 in Castelnovo nè Monti (ReggioEmilia, Italy) and graduated in Mathematics at the University of Pisain 1975, under the supervision of Prof. Giovanni Prodi. Since 1987 heis Full Professor in Mathematical Analysis at the University ofTrento. His research has ranged from Fluid Dynamics to NumericalMethods for Partial Differential Equations, his main current interestsbeing concerned with Finite Element Methods, ComputationalElectromagnetism, and Domain Decomposition Methods.
Paolo Secchi and Alberto Valli are universally recognized as two ofthe leading experts in their respective research areas.
In addition to this Volume, in order to celebrate their 60th birthdaysan international conference was held at the C.I.R.M (InternationalCenter for Mathematical Research) in Levico Terme, Italy, June 3-62014. The Conference was aimed at bringing together leading scientistsin the fields of Fluid Dynamics and Electromagnetism and to presenthigh level contributions on recent developments in the theory andnumerical analysis of partial differential equations related to thesefields. We would like to warmly thank the C.I.R.M and its staff,which support and priceless assistance made possible the realizationof the Conference, contributing to its success.
As the guest editors, we are glad that {\it Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series S} kindly agreed to publish this specialTheme Issues in honor of Paolo Secchi and Alberto Valli. We are alsovery grateful to the Editor in Chief Prof. Miranville for his help, tothe contributors of this Volume, as well as to the many reviewers, fortheir invaluable and essential support. On this occasion, we wouldlike to express our deepest friendship to Paolo Secchi and AlbertoValli and to wish them all the best and many more productive yearsahead.
