ESAIM: M2AN annonce the publication of its latest special issue, devoted to Molecullar Modelling.

From the foreword by Pierre-Louis Lions:
Molecular modelling is undoubtedly a scientific field of growing importance, which has a high potential impact on many engineering and life sciences. It comprises topics as various as nuclear physics, computational quantum chemistry, numerical statistical mechanics, multiscale modelling. It is closely connected to physics, chemistry, biology, materials science. The problems of molecular modelling, diverse in physical nature, are also very diverse in mathematical nature and in numerical nature. They involve high-dimensional partial differential equations, nonlinear optimization problems, stochastic analysis, and advanced linear algebra, linear and nonlinear programming, geometric integration, Monte-Carlo techniques, etc.
Overall, this special issue is a very appropriate place for experts to learn about the most recent and advanced developments of their field, presented in a mathematically-oriented manner. It is also an excellent opportunity for applied mathematicians not familiar with molecular modelling to discover an incredibly rich, still mostly unexplored, field. I am convinced you will enjoy reading this special issue, and I am already looking forward the next such enterprise.
