Boundary Control and Variation

Based on the Working Conference on Boundary Control and Boundary Variation held recently in Sophia Antipolis, France, this valuable resource provides important examinations of shape optimization and boundary control of hyperbolic systems, including free boundary problems and stabilization.

Furnishing numerical approximations for partial differential equations of mathematical physics, Boundary Control and Variation offers a new approach to large and nonlinear variation of the boundary using global Eulerian coordinates and intrinsic geometry and supplies in-depth studies of noncylindrical evolution problems . . . shape optimization in boundary value problems . . . optimal control of systems described by partial differential equations . . . stabilization of flexible structures . . . calculus of variation and free boundary problems . . . nonsmooth shape analysis in dynamical systems . . . and more.
