Presentation of the Special Issue on Recent Advances in PDE: Theory, Computations and Applications

Abstract

This is an introduction to the first eight articles in this volume that contains the special issue on Recent Advances in PDE: Theory, Computations and Applications. These peer-reviewed articles address recent developments in the areas of convection-diffusion-reaction problems, stabilizability of control systems with application to Oseen problems, obstacle problems, multigrid methods for quad-curl problems and discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin methods for spectral approximations. Some of the contributors of these articles were plenary speakers of the conference organized in honor of the numerical analyst Professor Amiya Kumar Pani. The conference was organized to acknowledge his outstanding contribution for the growth of applied mathematics in India.
