The invited papers, by leaders in their respective fields, allow researchers and graduate students to quickly grasp recent trends and developments in this field. Highlights of this year's volume are articles on domain decomposition, mesh adaption, pseudospectral methods, and neural networks.1. Formalization and computational aspects of image analysis Luis Alvarez and Jean Michel Morel; 2. Domain decomposition algorithms Tony F. Chan and Tarek P. Mathew; 3.

Numerical analysis of dynamical systems Andrew Stuart.Review of the hardback: 'Acta Numerica is a fine achievement and I think we can expect to see it for many years to come. It sets itself laudable and important goals and has, to a large extent, achieve them. I believe thal1
