Optimal Control of Complex Structures, Hardback Book

Optimal Control of Complex Structures Hardback

Edited by Karl Heinz Hoffmann, Irena Lasiecka, Gunter Leugering, Jurgen Sprekels, F. Troeltzsch

Part of the International Series of Numerical Mathematics series

Hardback

Description

Interest in the area of control of systems defined by partial differential Equations has increased strongly in recent years.

A major reason has been the requirement of these systems for sensible continuum mechanical modelling and optimization or control techniques which account for typical physical phenomena.

Particular examples of problems on which substantial progress has been made are the control and stabilization of mechatronic structures, the control of growth of thin films and crystals, the control of Laser and semi-conductor devices, and shape optimization problems for turbomachine blades, shells, smart materials and microdiffractive optics.

This volume contains original articles by world reknowned experts in the fields of optimal control of partial differential equations, shape optimization, numerical methods for partial differential equations and fluid dynamics, all of whom have contributed to the analysis and solution of many of the problems discussed.

The collection provides a state-of-the-art overview of the most challenging and exciting recent developments in the field. It is geared towards postgraduate students and researchers dealing with the theoretical and practical aspects of a wide variety of high technology problems in applied mathematics, fluid control, optimal design, and computer modelling.
