Recently much attention has been devoted to the optimization of transportation networks in a given geographic area. One assumes the distributions of population and of services/workplaces (i.e. the network's sources and sinks) are known, as well as the costs of movement with/without the network, and the cost of constructing/maintaining it. Both the long-term optimization and the short-term, "who goes where," optimization are considered. These models can also be adapted for the optimization of other types of networks, such as telecommunications, pipeline or drainage networks. In the...

In this collection of essays one finds contributions from Davide Buoso, Giuseppe Buttazzo, Michel Delfour, Gianpaolo Leonardi, Dario Mazzoleni, Al-hassem Nayam, Alberto Paganini, Volker Schulz, Jan Sokolowski, Kevin Sturm, Michiel Van den Berg, Bozhidar Velichkov and Alessandro Zilio. New trends in Shape Optimization was the title of a Workshop that we have organized in Erlangen in September 2013. We have had a very interesting week with many contributions by both senior mathematicians and young students; in particular, many open problems have been described, and a fruitful spontaneous...
