Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to explain in some detail which models and equations are considered in this book and to provide some background information and comments on the interplay between the various problems. Our motivation arises on the one hand from equations in continuum mechanics, biophysics or differential geometry and on the other hand from basic questions in the theory of partial differential equations.
