Product Description: Consisting of 23 refereed contributions, this volume offers a broad and diverse view of current research in control and estimation of partial differential equations. Topics addressed include, but are not limited to - control and stability of hyperbolic systems related to elasticity, linear and nonlinear; - control and identification of nonlinear parabolic systems; - exact and approximate controllability, and observability; - Pontryagin's maximum principle and dynamic programming in PDE; and - numerics pertinent to optimal and suboptimal control problems...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Book by Desch, W., Kappel, F.

Product Description: About three years ago, an idea was discussed among some colleagues in the Division of Statistics at the University of California, Davis, as to the possibility of holding an international conference, focusing exclusively on nonparametric curve estimation...read more

Product Description: Book by International Conference on Control of Distributed Parameter Systems 1, Kunisch, W., Kappel, Franz

Product Description: This volume collects together papers presented at the 1985 Conference in Function Estimation held at Humboldt State University. The papers focus especially on various types of spline estimations and convolution problems. The use of estimation and approximation methods as applied to geophysics, numerical analysis, and nonparametric statistics was a special feature of this conference...read more
