Popis: Though electronics is a quite young field, it is found almost everywhere in nowadays life. It became an important industrial sector within a short time frame. Behind this success story, very advanced research is necessary to push further the possibilities of the technology. This led to decreasing dimensions, from millimeters in the 1950s to nanometers in current products. To emphasize the new challenges due to the small sizes, the term “nanoelectronics” was coined. One important field of nanoelectronics is circuit simulation which is strongly connected to numerical mathematics. This paper highlights with some examples the interaction between actual and future problems of nanoelectronics and their relation to mathematical research. It is shown that without significant progress of mathematics the simulation problems showing up cannot be solved any more.
