Industrial mathematics is evolving into an important branch of mathematics. Mathematicians, in Italy in particular, are becoming increasingly aware of this new trend and are engaged in bridging the gap between highly specialized mathematical research and the emerging demand for innovation from industry. In this respect, the contributions in this volume provide both R&D workers in industry with a general view of existing skills, and academics with state-of-the-art applications of mathematics to real-world problems, which may also be incorporated in advanced courses.

This book provides an up-to-date overview of research articles in applied and industrial mathematics in Italy. This is done through the presentation of a number of investigations focusing on subjects as nonlinear optimization, life science, semiconductor industry, cultural heritage, scientific computing and others.

This volume is important as it gives a report on modern applied and industrial mathematics, and will be of specific interest to the community of applied mathematicians.

This book collects selected papers presented at the 9th Conference of SIMAI. The subjects discussed...
