Hendrik K. Kuiken – författare

The 1990 CIME course on Mathematical Modelling of IndustrialProcesses set out to illustrate some advances in questionsof industrial mathematics, i.e.of the applications ofmathematics (with all its "academic" rigour) to real-lifeproblems.The papers describe the genesis of the models and illustratetheir relevant mathematical characteristics. Among thethemesdealt with are: thermally controlled crystal growth,thermal behaviour of a high-pressure gas-discharge lamp, thesessile-drop problem, etching processes, the batch-coil-annealing process, inverse problems in classical dynamics,image representation and dynamical systems, scintillation inrear projections screens, identification of semiconductorproperties,pattern recognition with neural networks.CONTENTS: H.K.
