Mathematical Theory of Control, International Conference, Bombay, India, Dec 10-14, 1990, Group Travel Award in Indianand U.S. Currencies

描述：该项目支持10名美国科学家参加计划于1990年12月10日至14日在印度孟买举行的国际数学控制理论会议。会议的目标是：全面深入地介绍控制数学理论的现状，讨论其在理论和应用方面的潜力，并讨论印度科学家参与这一领域的情况。课程包括：庞特里亚金最大值原理；时间最优控制；线性二次反馈控制；机器人控制动力学；大型空间结构控制；随机控制；频域理论；无限维系统；微分对策；自适应控制；黎卡提方程；可控性和可观性；最优控制中的计算技术；非线性系统。范围：该项目支持美国科学家参加一次国际会议，他们和来自欧洲和印度的其他与会者将就控制领域的进展交换信息。对工业化国家和发展中国家来说，这是一个日益重要的领域。通过确定来自印度的潜在合作者，信息交换可能会使美国参与者受益。这显然对印度是有益的，因为接触该领域的领导人应该会刺激该领域的研究。

Description: This project supports travel of ten U.S. scientists to the Internatrional Conference on the Mathematical Theory of Control, planned for December 10-14, 1990 in Bombay, India. The objectives of the meeting are: to make a comprehensive in-depth presentation of the current status of the mathematical theory of control, to discuss its potential in theory and application; and to discusss Indian scientists' participation in this area. Topics to be included are: Pontryagin Maximum principle; Time-optimal control; Linear quadratic feedback control; Robot control dynamics; Control of large space structures; Stochastic control; Frequency domain theory; Infinite dimensional systems; Differential games; Adaptive control; Riccati equations; Controlability and observability; Computational techniques in optimal control; Nonlinear systems. Scope: This project supports participation of U.S. scientists in an international meeting where they and other participants from Europe and from India will exchange information on advances in the area of control. This is an area of increasing importance to industrialized countries as well as developing countries. The exchange of information is likely to benefit the U.S. participants by identifying potential collaborators from India. It is clearly of benefit to India since the exposure to leaders in the field should stimulate research in the field.
