Modelling and Inverse Problems of Control for Distributed Parameter Systems : Proceedings of IFIP (W.G.7.2)-IIASA Conference, Laxenburg, Austria, July 24-28, 1989

This book discusses inverse problems that arise in the estimation and control of distributed parameter systems in the face of uncertainty, as well as applications of these techniques to mathematical modelling for problems of applied system analysis (eg environmental issues, technological issues, technological processes, biomethematical models, mathematical economy and other fields). The main topics of the research papers which comprise this book are: estimation of the state and of the parameters for distributed parameter systems, control problems with state constraints, exponential stabilization and shape optimization. This book of proceedings on control theory, applied system analysis and estimation theory is intended for researchers, advanced students and engineers.
