This book provides an up-to-date overview of research articles in applied and industrial mathematics in Italy. This is done through the presentation of a number of investigations focusing on subjects as nonlinear optimization, life science, semiconductor industry, cultural heritage, scientific computing and others. This volume is important as it gives a report on modern applied and industrial mathematics, and will be of specific interest to the community of applied mathematicians. This book collects selected papers presented at the 9th Conference of SIMAI. The subjects discussed include image analysis methods, optimization problems, mathematics in the life sciences, differential models in applied mathematics, inverse problems, complex systems, innovative numerical methods and others.
