✦ Synopsis

This book consists of lecture notes of a summer school named after the late Jacques Louis Lions.

The summer school was designed to alert both Academia and Industry to the increasing role of multidisciplinary methods and tools for the design of complex products in various areas of socio-economic interest.

This volume offers the reader a rare opportunity of being exposed to the presentation of real industrial and societal problems together with the relevant innovative methods used.
