Selected scientific collection of articles of scientists and post-graduate students of M.V. Keldysh Institute of applied mathematics of Russian Academy of Sciences «Physical and mathematical models of plasma and plasma-like media» is made on materials of the WORKSHOP «First Russian-Italian Joint Seminar on Mathematical and Physical Models Applications to Condenced Matter and Preservation of the Cultural Heritage», on the occasion of the 16th International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing - ICIAP 2011, Italy, Ravenna, 2011. This collection of works contains the results of the relevant scientific research in the fields of new numerical methods and effective algorithms for modern computational systems development; as well as the results of numerical experiments with important applications. The computational nano-physics problems such as multilayered media (photonic crystals, technological mirror and their radiation corrosion, protective cover materials) properties investigation are considered, as well as fullwave simulation for the prediction of mineral exploration results, kinetic plasma model of spacecraft plasma engine performance optimization, and other models of unstable media which may be used for cultural heritage objects diagnostics and restoration, in protective coverings models and methods of their application to surfaces with plasma currents. For researchers and higher education institution professors.

Locally-recursive non-local-asynchronous algorithms, plasma dynamics, the engine Hall, photonic crystal, seismology acoustic, Kolmogorov equation, stochastic differential equations, nonlinear Brownian motion, stochastic resonance, fluctuations, nucleation, phase transition, porosity, self-organization.
