Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Optimal control of partial differential equations (PDEs) is a well-established discipline in mathematics with many interfaces to science and engineering. During the development of this area, the complexity of the systems to be controlled has also increased significantly; however, the numerical realization of these complex systems has become an issue in scientific computing, as the number of variables involved may easily exceed a couple of million.

In order to carry out model-reduction on these systems, the authors of this work have developed a method based on asymptotic analysis. They aim at combining techniques of homogenization and approximation in order to cover optimal control problems defined on reticulated domains, networked systems such as lattice, honeycomb, or hierarchical structures. Because of these structures' complicated geometry, the asymptotic analysis is even more important, as a direct numerical computation of solutions would be extremely difficult. The work's first part can be used as an advanced textbook on abstract optimal control problems, in particular on reticulated domains, while the second part serves as a research monograph where stratified applications are discussed.

Optimal Control Problems for Partial Differential Equations on Reticulated Domains is an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics and areas of engineering involving reticulated domains and networked systems.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

After over 50 years of increasing scientific interest, optimal control of partial differential equations (PDEs) has developed into a well-established discipline in mathematics with myriad applications to science and engineering. As the field has grown, so too has the complexity of the systems it describes; the numerical realization of optimal controls has become increasingly difficult, demanding ever more sophisticated mathematical tools.

A comprehensive monograph on the subject, Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations on Reticulated Domains is intended to address some of the obstacles that face researchers today, particularly with regard to multi-scale engineering applications involving hierarchies of grid-like domains. Bringing original results together with others previously scattered across the literature, it tackles computational challenges by exploiting asymptotic analysis and harnessing differences between optimal control problems and their underlying PDEs.

The book consists of two parts, the first of which can be viewed as a compendium of modern optimal control theory in Banach spaces. The second part is a focused, in-depth, and self-contained study of the asymptotics of optimal control problems related to reticulated domains―the first such study in the literature. Specific topics covered in the work include:

* a mostly self-contained mathematical theory of PDEs on reticulated domains;

* the concept of optimal control problems for PDEs in varying such domains, and hence, in varying Banach spaces;

* convergence of optimal control problems in variable spaces;

* an introduction to the asymptotic analysis of optimal control problems;

* optimal control problems dealing with ill-posed objects on thin periodic structures, thick periodic singular graphs, thick multi-structures with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary controls, and coefficients on reticulatedstructures.

Serving as both a text on abstract optimal control problems and a monograph where specific applications are explored, this book is an excellent reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics and areas of engineering involving reticulated domains.
