The European Conference on Numerical Mathematics and Advanced Applications (ENUMATH) is a biennial event that fosters discussion on recent developments in numerical mathematics and its applications. Since its inception in Paris in 1995, the series has continued in various locations, including Heidelberg, Jyvaskyla, Ischia, Prague, and Santiago de Compostela. This volume presents a selection of invited plenary lectures, papers from minisymposia, and contributed papers from ENUMATH 2007, which took place in Graz, Austria, from September 10–14, 2007. The conference attracted significant interest, featuring ten invited presentations, a public lecture, over 240 talks in nine minisymposia, and fifty-four sessions of contributed talks, with approximately 316 participants, primarily from Europe. A total of 98 contributions are included in these proceedings, covering both theoretical aspects of new numerical techniques and algorithms, as well as their applications in engineering and science. This compilation offers readers an excellent overview of contemporary methods, techniques, algorithms, and results in numerical mathematics and scientific computing. We extend our gratitude to all participants for their valuable contributions and discussions, as well as to the minisymposium organizers, chairpersons, and speakers for their significant roles in the conference.

This volume contains selected contributions originating from the ‘Conference on Optimal Control of Coupled Systems of Partial Differential Equations’, held at the ‘Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach’ in April 2005. With their articles, leading scientists cover a broad range of topics such as controllability, feedback-control, optimality systems, model-reduction techniques, analysis and optimal control of flow problems, and fluid-structure interactions, as well as problems of shape and topology optimization. Applications affected by these findings are distributed over all time and length scales starting with optimization and control of quantum mechanical systems, the design of piezoelectric acoustic micro-mechanical devices, or optimal control of crystal growth to the control of bodies immersed into a fluid, airfoil design, and much more. The book addresses advanced students and researchers in optimization and control of infinite dimensional systems, typically represented by partial differential equations. Readers interested either in theory or in numerical simulation of such systems will find this book equally appealing.
