Journal Guide

ESAIM: COCV publishes rapidly and efficiently papers and surveys in the areas of control, optimisation and calculus of variations. Articles may be theoretical,computational, or both, and they will cover contemporary subjects with impact on forefront technology, biosciences, materials science, computer vision, continuum physics, decision sciences and other allied disciplines.

The journal publishes original research papers of high scientific quality in two areas: Mathematical Modelling, and Numerical Analysis. Mathematical Modelling comprises the development and study - e.g. structure, well-posedness, solution properties - of a mathematical formulation of a problem (or class of problems). Numerical Analysis comprises the formulation and study - e.g. stability, convergence, computational complexity - of a numerical approximation or solution approach to a mathematically formulated problem (or class of problems).

RAIRO-Operations Research is an international journal devoted to high-level pure and applied research on all aspects of operations research. All papers published in RAIRO-Operations Research are critically refereed according to international standards. Any paper will either be accepted (possibly with minor revisions) either submitted to another evaluation (after a major revision) or rejected. Every effort will be made by the Editorial Board to ensure a quick turnaround to all papers submitted to the journal. Articles may be written in English or in French.
