The present volume is comprised of contributions solicited from invitees to conferences held at the University of Houston, University of Jyv¨ askyl¨ a, and Xi’an Jiaotong University honoring the 70th birthday of Professor Roland Glowinski. Although scientists convened on three different continents, the editors prefer to view the meetings as single event. The three locales signify the fact Roland has friends, collaborators and admirers across the globe. The contents span a wide range of topics in contem
