The EASIAM conference gathers researchers in applied mathematics with respect to science, engineering and technology. The scope of the EASIAM conference covers all aspects of applied mathe- matics to science, industry, engineering and technology in the East and South East Asia. Previous EASIAM meetings were held in Hong Kong (1st), Sap- poro (2nd), Xiamen (3rd), Daejeon (4th), Brunei (5th) and Kuala Lumpur (6th). EASIAM is a section of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathemat- ics (SIAM). It promotes basic research and education in mathematics, which supports science and technology. Topics of interest include applications of partial differential equations; applied and numerical linear algebra; fluid mechanics; mathematical analy- sis of engineering problems; mathematical aspects of geophysical problems; mathematical biology and/or medicine; mathematics of material sciences; numerical analysis; operations research; optimization. We are grateful to the distinguished SIAM keynote speakers & invited speakers, who have accepted to give plenary talks: SIAM Keynote Speakers Mitchell Luskin (University of Minnesota, USA) • Andrea Bertozzi (University of California, Los Angeles, USA) • Invited Speakers Ji Hui (National University of Singapore, Shingapore) • Yasumasa Nishiura (Hokkaido University, Japan) • Tony Wen-Hann Sheu (National Taiwan University, Republic of China) • Roslinda Nazar (National University of Malaysia, Malaysia) • Eun-Jae Park (Yonsei University, Korea) • We wish you a productive, rich, instructive edition of the EASIAM con- ference and we thank you for your participation. Hisashi Okamoto President of the East Asia section of SIAM Shin’ichi Oishi Chair of local organizing committee 2 Acknowledfements It is my great pleasure to thank all the participants of the 7th East Asia SIAM conference, whose latest achievements are reported here. I am particularly grateful to them since they do that when our country faces an unprecedented difficulty caused by the earthquake in March 11th, 2011, and the nuclear plant disaster right after that. On behalf of the committee of East Asia SIAM, I thank very much the keynote lecturers and the invited speakers. Their determination to give a talk in Japan was vitally important in holding the conference in this hard time. Last but not least, I would like to express my deep gratitude to organizers of Waseda University, particularly Professor Shin ’ichi Oishi, without whose efforts this conference would not be held. Hisashi Okamoto President of the East Asia section of SIAM Kyoto University On behalf of the local organizing committee, we would like to express out sincere thanks to Kitakyushu city for supporting the conference, and we are also grateful to Research Institute of Science and Engineering, Waseda University for supporting the conference.

As a result, the two are no longer one and play an important role in the formation and governance of the country as a whole (see Photo (1) and map). The scenic spot of “Kitakyushu Hospitality Roads” is the orange shaded areas displayed on the map from the Moji Ward to the Koyanose area of Yahata-nishi Ward, and the main route is the historic "Nagasaki Kaido" road. However, in the current road network, Kitakyushu City is developing as an industrial city with many national roads, so it has a complicated route. In other words, in the current road network, the major roads from Kanmon Bridge to the Koyanose district are given Q-❹ Kitakyushu Hospitality Roads by National Roads 2, 3, 200 and 211, and some prefecture roads have been developed to supplement them. In addition, National Road 199 (included Road No. 198) for port logistics are parallel to the National road 3 and can be used for this scenic sightseeing.
