An integrodifferential approach to modeling, control, state estimation and optimization for heat transfer systems

Andreas Rauh, Luise Senkel, Harald Aschemann, Vasily V. Saurin, Georgy V. Kostin (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper, control-oriented modeling approaches are presented for distributed parameter systems. These systems, which are in the focus of this contribution, are assumed to be described by suitable partial differential equations. They arise naturally during the modeling of dynamic heat transfer processes. The presented approaches aim at developing finitedimensional system descriptions for the design of various open-loop, closed-loop, and optimal control strategies as well as state, disturbance,...

Application of Calderón's inverse problem in civil engineering

Jan Havelka, Jan Sýkora (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

In specific fields of research such as preservation of historical buildings, medical imaging, geophysics and others, it is of particular interest to perform only a non-intrusive boundary measurements. The idea is to obtain comprehensive information about the material properties inside the considered domain while keeping the test sample intact. This paper is focused on such problems, i.e. synthesizing a physical model of interest with a boundary inverse value technique. The forward model is represented...

Approximate controllability by birth control for a nonlinear population dynamics model

Otared Kavian, Oumar Traoré (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we analyse an approximate controllability result for a nonlinear population dynamics model. In this model the birth term is nonlocal and describes the recruitment process in newborn individuals population, and the control acts on a small open set of the domain and corresponds to an elimination or a supply of newborn individuals. In our proof we use a unique continuation property for the solution of the heat equation and the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem.

Approximate controllability of linear parabolic equations in perforated domains

Patrizia Donato, Aïssam Nabil (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider an approximate controllability problem for linear parabolic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a periodically perforated domain. The holes are ε -periodic and of size ε . We show that, as ε 0 , the approximate control and the corresponding solution converge respectively to the approximate control and to the solution of the homogenized problem. In the limit problem, the approximation of the final state is alterated by a constant which depends on the proportion...

Approximate Controllability of linear parabolic equations in perforated domains

Patrizia Donato, Aïssam Nabil (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider an approximate controllability problem for linear parabolic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a periodically perforated domain. The holes are ε-periodic and of size ε. We show that, as ε → 0, the approximate control and the corresponding solution converge respectively to the approximate control and to the solution of the homogenized problem. In the limit problem, the approximation of the final state is alterated by a constant which depends on the proportion...

Approximation of Parabolic Equations Using the Wasserstein Metric

David Kinderlehrer, Noel J. Walkington (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We illustrate how some interesting new variational principles can be used for the numerical approximation of solutions to certain (possibly degenerate) parabolic partial differential equations. One remarkable feature of the algorithms presented here is that derivatives do not enter into the variational principles, so, for example, discontinuous approximations may be used for approximating the heat equation. We present formulae for computing a Wasserstein metric which enters into the variational...
