Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems. A collection of papers dedicated to Giorgio Fusco

his special volume of the São Paulo Journal of Mathematical Sciences is dedicated to Professor Giorgio Fusco of the Università degli Studi dell’Aquila. His areas of mathematical research include Mechanics, Dynamical Systems, Elliptic Systems, and Phase Transitions. The special volume contains invited papers and springs from the Eighth IST-IME Meeting. The focus of the international conference series is on differential equations, geometry, dynamical systems and related topics. The series highlights interaction of researchers working in these areas on both sides of the Atlantic, with a focus on the links between the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística (IME) of Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil and the Center for Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Dynamical Systems of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. Postponed due to the pandemic, the meeting was organized in Lisbon on 5-9 September of 2022. The volume honors Giorgio Fusco's major contributions to his research areas and, in particular, his contributions to the IST-IME link through collaborations with several members of both institutions. For more than three decades, by now, his work and his kind personality have remained a constant source of encouragement, support, and inspiration for our interaction.

Editors

  • Carlos Rocha

    Carlos Rocha got his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Brown University in 1985 and has held the position of Professor Catedratico of the Mathematics Department of Instituto Superior Tecnico, Universidade de Lisboa. He has continued research interests in Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, Bifurcation Theory and the study of Parabolic Partial Differential Equations, with many collaborations with Bernold Fiedler, Waldyr Oliva and Giorgio Fusco.

  • Bernold Fiedler

    The research interests of Bernold Fiedler are broadly related to dynamical systems, including partial and delay differential equations. Application areas are ranging from control theory, pattern formation, network dynamics, and other topics in physics, chemistry, biology, and general relativity, to industrial mathematics. Most of his results on the global dynamics of global attractors are joint work with Carlos Rocha at IST, Lisboa. He has held positions at the Universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart, the Free University of Berlin, and Brown University.

  • Waldyr Oliva

    Waldyr Muniz Oliva was born in Santos, Brazil, on June 16th, 1930. He is a Mathematician, member of the Center Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Dynamical Systems (University of Lisbon, Portugal) since 1993 and he is an Emeritus Professor in the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (University of São Paulo, Brazil). He became a Titular Member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences in 1999. Prof. Oliva has been publishing numerous articles in Geometric Mechanics. Many publications were and are made in collaborations with mathematicians from around the world.
