项目摘要

This National Science Foundation award supports a 5-day CBMS conference on "Computational Methods in Optimal Control", to be held at the Jackson State University, Jackson, Mississippi, during July, 2018. The principal lecturer will be Dr. William W. Hager from the University of Florida. As one of the largest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States, Jackson State University is a good location for hosting this conference, which will have a direct impact on training and attracting African-American students in the computational mathematics and statistical sciences doctoral programs and professions. The anticipated participants include senior and junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Some travel support will be provided to selected participants based on several criteria, such as relevance of research background, academic preparation, potential of long-term collaboration, and broader impacts.Due to the growing complexity of optimal control applications, approximate solutions are often obtained by numerical algorithms, which requires deep understanding of numerical discretization and solution techniques. Dr. Hager will deliver ten main lectures on state-of-the-art computational methods on optimal control during the morning sessions, which are accompanied with guided computer lab sessions in the afternoon focusing on computer implementations of the discussed algorithms. The presented lectures and the corresponding monograph will provide both the background needed to analyze convergence of discrete approximations and solution techniques in optimal control, and practical experience in solving real-world problems. To complement the content of the main lectures, a few invited speakers will give additional introductory talks that focus on efficient numerical methods for solving optimal control problems whose dynamics are described by a partial differential equation. More information can be found at the conference website: http://www.siue.edu/~juliu/cbms18This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个国家科学基金会奖支持为期5天的CBMS会议“最优控制中的计算方法”，将于2018年7月在密西西比杰克逊的杰克逊州立大学举行。首席讲师将是威廉·W.来自佛罗里达大学的海格。作为美国历史上最大的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）之一，杰克逊州立大学是举办这次会议的好地方，这将对培训和吸引非洲裔美国学生在计算数学和统计科学博士课程和专业产生直接影响。预期的参与者包括高级和初级教师，博士后研究员和研究生。根据研究背景的相关性、学术准备、长期合作的潜力和更广泛的影响等几个标准，将为选定的参与者提供一些旅行支持。由于最优控制应用的日益复杂，近似解通常通过数值算法获得，这需要对数值离散和求解技术有深入的理解。Hager博士将在上午的课程中提供关于最佳控制的最先进计算方法的十个主要讲座，下午的指导计算机实验室课程将专注于所讨论算法的计算机实现。所提出的讲座和相应的专著将提供分析离散近似收敛和最优控制解决方案技术所需的背景知识，以及解决实际问题的实践经验。为了补充主要讲座的内容，一些受邀演讲者将提供额外的介绍性演讲，重点是解决最优控制问题的有效数值方法，其动态由偏微分方程描述。更多信息可以在会议网站上找到：http://www.siue.edu/~juliu/cbms18This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
