"Differential equations can be viewed as a tool well suited to bring mathematics closer to real life and describe phenomena with an origin in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, etc. Of course, this "invites" scientists and engineers to use them. On the other hand, differential equations are at the starting point of a lot of purely mathematical activity. Thus, a large part of functional analysis has been motivated by the need to solve questions coming from the analysis of differential systems. The same can be said of numerical analysis. Also, we must remember the relevant role played by differential equations in the formulation and resolution of problems in harmonic analysis, differentia...
This book contains the main results of the talks given at the workshop “Recent Advances in PDEs: Analysis, Numerics and Control”, which took place in Sevilla (Spain) on January 25-27, 2017. The work comprises 12 contributions given by high-level researchers in the partial differential equation (PDE) area to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Enrique Fernández-Cara (University of Sevilla). The main topics covered here are: Control and inverse problems, Analysis of Fluid mechanics and Numerical Analysis. The work is devoted to researchers in these fields.
Based on the International Federation for Information Processing TC7/WG-7.2 Conference, held in Laredo, Spain, this work covers theoretical advances as well as results on control problems and applications for partial differential equations. It examines the controllability and stabilization of distributed sytems, optimality conditions, shape optimization and numerical methods.
This book is the second of a set dedicated to the mathematical tools used in partial differential equations derived from physics. It presents the properties of continuous functions, which are useful for solving partial differential equations, and, more particularly, for constructing distributions valued in a Neumann space. The author examines partial derivatives, the construction of primitives, integration and the weighting of value functions in a Neumann space. Many of them are new generalizations of classical properties for values in a Banach space. Simple methods, semi-norms, sequential properties and others are discussed, making these tools accessible to the greatest number of students – doctoral students, postgraduate students – engineers and researchers, without restricting or generalizing the results.
The book presents the history of ICMI trough a prosopographical approach. In other words, it pays a lot of attention to the actors of the International movement. The portraits of the members of the ICMI Central Committees (1908-1936) and ICMI Executive Committees (1952-2008), and other eminent figures in ICMI history, who have passed away in the first 100 years of its life, are the guiding thread of the volume. Each portrait includes: · Biographical information · An outline of the various contributions made by the individual in question to the study of problems pertaining to mathematics teaching/education · Primary bibliography · Secondary with particular attention to the publications co...
This open access book contains review papers authored by thirteen plenary invited speakers to the 9th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (Valencia, July 15-19, 2019). Written by top-level scientists recognized worldwide, the scientific contributions cover a wide range of cutting-edge topics of industrial and applied mathematics: mathematical modeling, industrial and environmental mathematics, mathematical biology and medicine, reduced-order modeling and cryptography. The book also includes an introductory chapter summarizing the main features of the congress. This is the first volume of a thematic series dedicated to research results presented at ICIAM 2019-Valencia Congress.
This book treats the theory of global attractors, a recent development in the theory of partial differential equations, in a way that also includes much of the traditional elements of the subject. As such it gives a quick but directed introduction to some fundamental concepts, and by the end proceeds to current research problems. Since the subject is relatively new, this is the first book to attempt to treat these various topics in a unified and didactic way. It is intended to be suitable for first year graduate students.
This book presents methods to study the controllability and the stabilization of nonlinear control systems in finite and infinite dimensions. The emphasis is put on specific phenomena due to nonlinearities. In particular, many examples are given where nonlinearities turn out to be essential to get controllability or stabilization. Various methods are presented to study the controllability or to construct stabilizing feedback laws. The power of these methods is illustrated by numerous examples coming from such areas as celestial mechanics, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics. The book is addressed to graduate students in mathematics or control theory, and to mathematicians or engineers with an interest in nonlinear control systems governed by ordinary or partial differential equations.
Reviews and research articles summarizing a wide range of active research topics in fluid mechanics.
This monograph presents new constructive design methods for boundary stabilization and boundary estimation for several classes of benchmark problems in flow control, with potential applications to turbulence control, weather forecasting, and plasma control. One of the main features of the book is a unique "backstepping" approach to parabolic partial differential equations, which yields not only the stabilization of the flow, but also the explicit solvability of the closed-loop system. The work is an excellent reference for a broad, interdisciplinary engineering and mathematics audience: control theorists, fluid mechanicists, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, chemical engineers, electrical engineers, applied mathematicians, as well as research and graduate students in these fields.
