Title: Optimisation with PDE constraints using automated consistent adjoints of finite element modelsSpeaker: Simon FunkeAffiliation: Applied Modelling and Computation Group at Imperial CollegeLocation: CPSE seminar room (C615 Roderic Hill)Time: 2:00pmAbstract. Optimisation with partial differential equations (PDE) as constraints arise in many research areas from science engineering to finance. Typical examples are data assimilation for weather...

Title: Performance bounds in robust & stochastic optimal control problemsSpeaker: Bart Van ParysAffiliation: Automatic Control Laboratory at Swiss Federal Institute of TechnologyLocation: Room 308 Computing DepartmentTime: 3:00pmAbstract. We present a new method to bound the performance of controllers for uncertain linear systems with mixed state and input constraints and bounded persistent disturbances. We take as... Read more »
