A conference, to celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor James
Serrin, was held at the University of Ferrara from 26 to 30 October
1992, on the occasion of the sixth centenary of the foundation of
the university. The dual purpose of this conference was to honor
James Serrin and to bring together mathematicians in four main
areas of Professor Serrin's research in terests: partial
differential equations, variational methods, fluid mechanics, and
thermodynamics. These fields, with their significant historical
connotation, still remain the object of active research and
development, and possess a remarkable degree of interrelation in
their pure and applied aspects. Thus the organizing committee,
consisting of G. Buttazzo, G.P. Galdi, E. Lanconelli, and P. Pucci,
had the opportunity to invite a number of well-known mathematicians
and friends of James Serrin to make this meeting a success. An
honorary committee was also formed, including Professor A. Rossi,
Rector of the University of Ferrara, Professor C. Bighi, President
of the Accadernia Scienze di Ferrara, Professor G. Del Piero,
Decano of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Ferrara,
and Professor L. Zanghirati, Director of the Department of
Mathematics of the University of Ferrara. The conference was
further supported by G.N.A.F.A., G.N.F.M., and the Mathematics
Committee of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, together with
the University of Ferrara and the Cassa di Risparrnio of Ferrara,
to all of whom the organizing committee expresses their most
sincere thanks."
