CONTROL AND ESTIMATION OF DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER SYSTEMS. Este artículo no está disponible.CONTROL AND ESTIMATION OF DISTRIBUTED PARAMETER SYSTEMS

Consisting of 23 refereed contributions, this volume offers a broad and diverse view of current research in control and estimation of partial differential equations. Topics addressed include, but are not limited to - control and stability of hyperbolic systems related to elasticity, linear and nonlinear; - control and identification of nonlinear parabolic systems; - exact and approximate controllability, and observability; - Pontryagin's maximum principle and dynamic programming in PDE; and - numerics pertinent to optimal and suboptimal control problems. This volume is primarily geared toward control theorists seeking information on the latest developments in their area of expertise. It may also serve as a stimulating reader to any researcher who wants to gain an impression of activities at the forefront of a vigorously expanding area in applied mathematics.

    "The book makes an important theoretical contribution... By its broad coverage, good organization, the theoretical results included, and the highlighted potential applications, [it] recommends itself as an advanced, supplementary reading in mathematical system theory for partial differential equations."    -- Studies in Informatics and Control
