Product Description: This is the first volume of a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of quadratic optimal control theory for partial differential equations over a finite or infinite time horizon, and related differential (integral) and algebraic Riccati equations...read more

Product Description: Volume II focuses on the optimal control problem over a finite time interval for hyperbolic dynamical systems. The chapters consider some abstract models, each motivated by a particular canonical hyperbolic dynamics, and present numerous new results. (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The authors consider abstract nonlinear second order evolution equations with a nonlinear damping. Questions related to long time behavior, existence and structure of global attractors are studied. Particular emphasis is put on dynamics which--in addition to nonlinear dissipation-- have noncompact semilinear terms and whose energy may not be necessarily decreasing...read more

Product Description: The steady-state solutions to Navier-Stokes equations on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset R^d$, $d = 2,3$, are locally exponentially stabilizable by a boundary closed-loop feedback controller, acting tangentially on the boundary $\partial \Omega$, in the Dirichlet boundary conditions...read more
