This volume is derived from invited talks given at a meeting celebrating Michael Powell's sixtieth birthday and focuses on innovative work in optimization and approximation theory. The individual papers, written by leading authorities in their subjects, are a mix of expository articles and surveys on new work. They have all been reviewed and edited to form a coherent volume that represents the state of the art in an important discipline within mathematics, with highly relevant applications throughout science and engineering.

Acta Numerica is an annual publication containing invited survey papers by leading researchers in numerical mathematics and scientific computing. The papers present overviews of recent developments in their area and provide state of the art' techniques and analysis."

Acta Numerica has established itself as the prime forum for the presentation of definitive reviews of numerical analysis topics. Highlights of this year's issue include articles on sequential quadratic programming, mesh adaption, free boundary problems, and particle methods in continuum computations. The invited papers will allow researchers and graduate students alike to quickly grasp the current trends and developments in this field.

Acta Numerica surveys annually the most important developments in numerical analysis. The subjects and authors, chosen by a distinguished international panel, provide a survey of articles outstanding in their quality and breadth. This volume includes articles on multivariate integration; numerical analysis of semiconductor devices; fast transforms in applied mathematics; complexity issues in numerical analysis.
