This volume contains thirteen papers and one extended abstract
based on talks given at the symposium "Inverse Problems and Optimal
Design in Industry" which took place from July 8 to 10, 1993, in
Philadelphia. This symposium was jointly organized by ECMI an SIAM,
with the cooperation of IMA (Minnesota), INRIA, and SIMA . The
organizing committee was co-chaired by the editors of this volume
and included, in addition, V. Boffi (SIMAI, Italy) G. Chavent
(INRIA, France), D. Colton (University of Delaware, USA) and A.
Friedman (IMA, USA). Financial support from the U. S. Department of
Energy is gratefully acknowledged. The primary aim of this meeting,
which is reflected in this volume, was to bring to gether
mathematicians working in industry. who treat inverse and optimal
design problems in their practical work and mathematiCians from
academia who are active in mathem atical research in these fields
in order to strenghten the contacts between industry and academia.
Thus, this volume contains (refereed) papers both on inverse and
optimal design problems as they appear in European, American and
Japanese industry, and on analytical and numerical techniques for
solving such types of problems. The topics treated include
multi-disciplinary design optimization in aerospace industry,
inverse problems in steel industry, inverse and optimum design
problems in optics and photographic science, inverse
electromagnetic problems including impedance imaging, and inverse
problems in the petroleum industry. There were two styles of
presentation of topics. One was discussion sessions."
1 Industrial Mathematics in Linz The Johannes-Kepler-University is
situated in Linz, which is the industrial center of Austria. This
location provides unique opportunities for cooperation between in-
dustry and a university which derives its name from one of the most
eminent ap- plied mathematicians of all times. The mathematics
department was founded in the late Sixties, the first students
graduated in 1974. In these boom times, they had no problems of
finding jobs in industry. However, their employers were then more
interested in their general training than in their specific
mathematical skills. To change this, the department decided to
actively seek cooperation with industry in what we called "problem
seminars", where students were trained to solve (under guidance)
real-world problems from local industry. Groundwork was already
laid by a curriculum with special emphasis on numerical analysis,
statistics, and optim- ization. This work in problem seminars
usually evolved into diploma theses. Inci- dentally, in all
projects presented here, students were involved at some stages.
While the original motivation for cooperation with industry was
educational, it turned out that most problems presented to us also
led to interesting mathematical problems, so that nowadays our
motivation is as much scientific as educational. When cooperating
with industry, one cannot expect that the problems to be solved
fall into one's special mathematical interest.
