Summary on Grant Application Form
Infinite dimensional systems: Analysis, applications and control An international workshop. Infinite-dimensional systems theory (describing systems of controlled PDEs, systems including delays or those with irrational, possibly fractional, transfer functions) has matured over the last two decades into a broad mathematical theory. As a discipline it continues to make strong connections with operator semigroup theory, modem applications of Hardy Space theory and the theory of PDEs. More recently, infinite-dimensional systems theory has started to make an impact on important developments in pseudospectra of operators and fluid dynamics, via 'Flow Control'. Furthermore, developments in areas such as repetitive control and sampled-data control have brought infinite-dimensional systems closer to mainstream control engineering. There are also natural links to dynamical systems theory. For example, pattern formation in infinite-dimensional dynamical systems is an emerging area. The workshop will be organised around six inter-related themes: Control of fluid flows; Dynamics for infinite dimensional dissipative systems; Input-output and frequency domain approaches; PDE methods for infinite-dimensional (distributed parameter) systems; Robustness issues, inc. pseudospectra; Well-posedness and semigroup theory. These themes cover fundamental theory, emerging areas and new directions and each theme will provide an invited session organised by leading experts.
