European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry Edited by Leif Arkeryd, Goteborg Heinz Engl, Linz Antonio Fasano, Firenze Robert M. M. Mattheij, Eindhoven Pekka Neittaanmald, JyvaskyHi Helmut Neunzert, Kaiserslautern
Within Europe a number of academic groups have accepted their responsibility towards European industry and have proposed to found a European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) as an expression of this responsibility. One of the activities of ECMI is the publication of books, which reflect its general philosophy; the texts of the series will help in promoting the use of mathematics in industry and in educating mathematicians for industry. They will consider different fields of applications, present casestudies, introduce new mathematical concepts in their relation to practical applications. They shall also represent the variety of the European mathematical traditions, for example practical asymptotics and differential equations in Britian, sophisticated numerical analysis from France, powerful computation in Germany, novel discrete mathematics in Holland, elegant real analysis from Italy. They will demonstrate that all these branches of mathematics are applicable to real problems, and industry and universities in any country can clearly benefit from the skills of the complete range of European applied mathematics.

Preface In the last week of June 1996 the 9th conference of the European Consortium for Mathematics Industry, ECMI 96, took place at the Technical University of Denmark. The present volume of papers is a selection among the almost 200 contributions to the conference. As a logo on the announcements of the conference the organising committee chose a picture of the connection between Denmark and Sweden which is currently under construction. We chose this picture primarily because of the elegant and decorative lines of the bridge, but for other reasons as well: Denmark is a country of islands, and the art of building bridges has a long tradition here. Danish civil engineers have built bridges all over the world and have been rated among the most competent experts in their field. Many have acted as consultants as well as professors at the Technical
