---------------------------------------------------

We would like to inform you of a recent change in editorial leadership of TMNA. Professor Jean Mawhin, who previously served as Editor-in-Chief, has resigned from the position. It is challenging to express our gratitude to Professor Mawhin for his many years of dedication and significant contributions to TMNA. We are convinced that thanks to Professor Mawhin, the past 20 years have been a prosperous time for our journal.

 

We are pleased to announce that Professor Tobias Weth from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, has accepted the role of the new Editor-in-Chief of TMNA. His research interests and substantial scientific contributions include linear and nonlinear PDE, variational, topological, and geometric methods in nonlinear analysis, nonlocal operators and associated boundary value problems, local and nonlocal geometric variational problems, symmetry, and symmetry breaking of solutions to nonlinear boundary value problems.

We appreciate Professor Mawhin's contributions and welcome Professor Weth to the new role of Editor-in-Chief of our journal. We look forward to continued success under his guidance.
