This book collects results in numerical analysis and optimization presented at the 2011 ECCOMAS thematic conference "Computational Analysis and Optimization." The conference and the book celebrate the work of Prof. Pekka Neittaanmäki on his sixtieth birthday.

This book contains the results in numerical analysis and optimization presented at the ECCOMAS thematic conference Computational Analysis and Optimization (CAO 2011) held in Jyväskylä, Finland, June 911, 2011. Both the conference and this volume are dedicated to Professor Pekka Neittaanmäki on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. It consists of five parts that are closely related to his scientific activities and interests: Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Problems; Reliable Methods for Computer Simulation; Analysis of Noised and Uncertain Data; Optimization Methods; Mathematical Models Generated by Modern Technological Problems. The book also includes a short biography of Professor Neittaanmäki.

Presents applications in from nanotechnology to cosmology Covers methods from analytical approaches to massively parallel high end computations Covers the whole range of computational science from modeling through numerical analysis to decision making supported by optimization tools Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
