The world of combustion phenomena is rich in problems intriguing to the mathematical scientists, offering challenges on several fronts: mathematical modeling, devising appropriate asymptotic and computational methods, and developing sound mathematical theories. Papers in this volume describe how all of these challenges have been met for particular examples within a number of common combustion scenarios: reactive shocks, low mach number premixed reactive flow, nonpremixed phenomena, and solid propellants. The types of phenomena they examine are also diverse: properties of interfaces and shocks, including curvature effects, the stability and other properties of steady structures, the long time dynamics of evolving solutions, and spatio-temporal patterns. These issues are foremost in combustion research; the papers collected here provide a good representative sampling of contemporary activity in this field.
