Special issue: mathematical methods in the biosciences

Special issue: Mathematical methods for CAD

In this special issue of Computer-Aided Design, mathematical and geometrical methods are presented for a set of problems in computer-aided design. In particular, the issue contains seven papers that deal with topics in the synthesis and analysis of surfaces and solids. The first three papers deal with topics in surface design. A basic problem in shape design is the fitting of smooth surfaces ov...

Preface for the special issue of Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, BIOCOMP 2012.

The International Conference "BIOCOMP2012 - Mathematical Modeling and Computational Topics in Biosciences'', was held in Vietri sul Mare (Italy), June 4-8, 2012. It was dedicated to the Memory of Professor Luigi M. Ricciardi (1942-2011), who was a visionary and tireless promoter of the 3 previous editions of the BIOCOMP conference series. We thought that the best way to honor his memory was to ...

Special Issue: Mathematical Neuroscience

The (Mathematical) Modeling Process in Biosciences

In this communication, we introduce a general framework and discussion on the role of models and the modeling process in the field of biosciences. The objective is to sum up the common procedures during the formalization and analysis of a biological problem from the perspective of Systems Biology, which approaches the study of biological systems as a whole. We begin by presenting the definition...

Special issue on multigrid methods

This special issue of Computing and Visualization in Science contains selected papers from the 2014 European Multigrid conference (EMG 2014), which took place in Leuven, Belgium, from 9 to 12 September, 2014. European Multigrid (EMG) is a series of conferences on the theme of multigrid methods and related fields. EMG is one of the most important conference series on this topic worldwide. Previo...
