 Introduction:  
  This special session focuses on recent advances in the study of elliptic partial differential equations, with a particular emphasis on problems exhibiting reaction terms which are singular, discontinuous, or model some nonlinear phenomena. Such types of problems naturally arise in a wide range of scientific areas, including physics, engineering, chemistry, and biology, and their solutions often exhibit complex and challenging behaviors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Existence, regularity and qualitative properties of solutions to elliptic equations or systems; - Developments and new trends in variational methods; - Set-valued analysis and fixed point theory; - Problems with lack of compactness (problems in the whole space, critical problems, Hardy-type potentials); - Elliptic problems with non-local behavior; - Applications of elliptic PDEs to real-world problems. We welcome contributions from researchers working in all areas of elliptic PDEs, including both theoretical and applied aspects.
