Yoshikazu Giga is Professor at the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences of the University of Tokyo, Japan. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society as well as of the Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Through his more than two hundred papers and two monographs, he has substantially contributed to the theory of parabolic partial differential equations including geometric evolution equations, semilinear heat equations as well as the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. He has received several prizes including the Medal of Honour with Purple Ribbon from the government of Japan.

Antonin Novotny is Professor at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Toulon and member of the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Toulon, France. Co-author of more than hundred papers and two monographs, he is one of the leading experts in the theory of compressible Navier-Stokes equations.
