U.S.-Australia Cooperative Program: Workshop on the Control of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems: Controls and Chaos/Honolulu,Hawaii/June 1995

该奖项将支持10名美国科学家、数学家和工程师参加1995年6月在夏威夷檀香山举行的题为“控制与混沌”的非线性动力系统控制研讨会。美国组织者是亚利桑那大学航空航天与机械工程系的托马斯·文森特博士。澳大利亚的组织者是西澳大学数学系的A. I. Mees教授和K. L. Teo教授。研讨会的目的是将动力系统理论和控制理论的专家聚集在一起，集中讨论如何使用有限的控制努力来控制非线性和潜在的混沌系统。该研究在经济政策、医学、生态系统管理和制造业等领域具有广泛的应用潜力。评估方面的考虑将是讲习班的一个重要部分。目前存在争议的说法是，受到混沌工作启发的方法提供了独特的方法来控制具有复杂行为的系统。研讨会还将研究控制理论的应用，并考虑控制具有实际意义的复杂问题的新工具。澳大利亚的参与者由澳大利亚工业、科学和技术部资助。来自日本和英国的研究人员也将参加研讨会。

9416837 Vincent This award will support the participation of ten American scientists, mathematicians and engineers at a workshop on the control of nonlinear dynamical systems entitled "Control and Chaos" to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii in June 1995. The American organizer is Dr. Thomas Vincent of the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arizona. The Australian organizers are Prof. A. I. Mees and Prof. K. L. Teo of the Department of Mathematics from the University of Western Australia. The objective of the workshop is to bring together experts in dynamical systems theory and control theory to focus on the problem of controlling nonlinear and potentially chaotic systems using limited control effort. The work has application potential including such diverse fields as economic policy, medicine, ecosystem management and manufacturing. Assessment considerations will play an important part of the workshop. There currently exists controversy over claims that approaches inspired by work on chaos provide unique ways to control systems with complex behavior. The workshop will also investigate applications of control theory and consider new tools for controlling complex problems of a practical interest. The Australian participants are being funded through the Australian Department of Industry, Science and Technology. Researchers from Japan and Great Britain will also be participating in the wopkshop.
