Control and Estimation of Distributed Parameter Systems: Nonlinear Phenomena International Conference in Vorau (Austria), July 18–24, 1993

22 papers on control of nonlinear partial differential equations highlight the area from a broad variety of viewpoints. They comprise theoretical considerations such as optimality conditions, relaxation, or stabilizability theorems, as well as the development and evaluation of new algorithms. A sign...
