“Mathematical Methods For Control Theory” (part V): Introduction to the fractional Laplacian

From April 11th 2018 to April 24th 2018
Fridays and Tuesdays, 11:30-13:00 (except Wednesday, April 11th 2018: 15:30-17:00). Please check Dates and rooms V.

Umberto Biccari & Víctor Hernández-Santamaría

DeustoTech (Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain)
Abstract:
The aim of this course is to present a systematic overview of several mathematical tools which are commonly employed in control theory. The lectures will be organized in various thematic modules, each one developed around a different type of model. We will treat both theoretical and numerical aspects. The lectures during April will be devoted to:
Title:
Introduction to the fractional Laplacian.
Abstract:
Aim of these lectures is to present a brief but systematic introduction to the fractional Laplacian. In the first classes, we will introduce the operator and we will discuss some of its relevant properties. In a second moment, we will focus on applications in PDE theory and, in particular, in control problems.

The lectures will be organized in various thematic modules, each one developed around a different type of model. We will treat both theoretical and numerical aspects.
The lectures during March will be devoted to the problem of computing null-controls for parabolic equations or systems by using the Hilbert Uniqueness Method (HUM). We will review recent results on this subject and we will emphasize on the main ideas underlying the penalized HUM approach.
Three sessions will be delivered by José Vicente Lorenzo from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Madrid, Spain) and will be entitled:
Optimal Shape Design with Applications in Fluid Dynamics: How can we design the shape that reduces the energy consumption of an aircraft?

The lectures will be organized in various thematic modules, each one developed around a different type of model. We will treat both theoretical and numerical aspects.
The lectures during February will be devoted to the controllability of the heat equation and Carleman inequalities.
Two sessions will be delivered by Jerome Loheac from University of Lorraine (CRAN), Nancy, France and will be entitled:
Pontryagin maximum principle, consequences and extentions
In these talks, I will introduce the Pontryagin maximum principle. This principle gives necessary conditions on optimal control problems. I will give different examples illustrating how this principle can help for finding optimal controls. I will in particular focus on time optimal control problems and will give some extensions of this principle to some infinite dimensional control problem.-->
