Horizons in Infinite Dimensional Deterministic and Stochastic Systems with Applications to Engineering; Winter 2009, Los Angeles, CA

一个关于无限维和随机系统控制领域的理论发展和工程应用的研讨会将在加州大学洛杉矶分校举行。对这些问题的同时关注始于20世纪60年代末，法国的J.-L.Lions和美国的A.V.Balakrishnan等先驱奠定了数学基础，将卡尔曼十年前关于常微分方程组的可控性和最优控制的基本结果推广到偏微分方程组。研讨会将汇聚研究偏微分方程和随机控制的研究人员、数学家和工程师、对力学和生物学感兴趣的研究人员和对金融感兴趣的人、创立该领域的一代以及将其推向日益复杂的数学和工程相关性学科的一代。该研讨会预计将成为致力于复杂物理系统的数学和控制的领先研究人员之间交流思想的里程碑事件。涵盖的应用主题将涵盖广泛的范围，包括航空航天/国防系统、生物学和金融系统，所有这些都通过一条共同的数学线索联系在一起。

A workshop on theoretical developments and engineering applications in the areas of control of infinite-dimensional and stochastic systems will be held at University of California, Los Angeles. The simultaneous interest in these topics originated in the late 1960s, with pioneers such as J.-L. Lions in France and A. V. Balakrishnan in the U.S. laying the mathematical foundations for extending, to partial differential equations, the basic results of Kalman, from a decade earlier, on controllability and optimal control for ODEs. The workshop will bring together researchers working on PDEs and those working on stochastic control, mathematicians and engineers, researchers with interests in mechanics and biology and those with interest in finance, the generation that founded the field and the generation that is carrying it forward towards subjects of increasing mathematical sophistication and engineering relevance. The workshop is anticipated to be a milestone event in sharing of ideas among leading researchers working on the mathematics and control of complex physical systems. The application topics covered will span a broad range, including aerospace/defense systems, biology, and financial systems, all tied though a common mathematical thread.
