Control and Estimation of Distributed Parameter Systems

Consisting of 16 refereed original contributions, this volume presents a
diversified collection of recent results in control of distributed
parameter systems. Topics addressed include
- optimal control in fluid mechanics
- numerical methods for optimal control of partial differential
equations
- modeling and control of shells
- level set methods
- mesh adaptation for parameter estimation problems
- shape optimization
Advanced graduate students and researchers will find the book an
excellent guide to the forefront of control and estimation of
distributed parameter systems.
