The world of combustion phenomena is rich in problems intriguing to the mathematical scientist, offering challenges on several fronts: mathematical modelling, 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, non-premixed 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. The papers collected here provide a representative view of current activity in this field.
