Mathematical Sciences: Differential Geometric and Real Analytic Methods in Nonlinear Control Theory

主要研究人员将致力于非线性控制理论中的一大类问题，包括局部和全局可控性、可观性和最小实现。将特别强调非线性镇定和非完整运动规划。从机器人学到太空探测器在遥远的行星上着陆，非线性控制技术有许多实际应用。它是现代世界中非线性数学的力量和适用性的一个例子。

The principal investigator will work on a broad class of problems from nonlinear control theory, including local and global controllability, observability, and minimal realizations. Special emphasis will be placed on nonlinear stabilization and nonholonomic motion planning. The techniques of nonlinear control have many practical applications from robotics to landing a space probe on some distant planet. It is one example of the power and applicability of nonlinear mathematics in the modern world.
