Optimal Sensor Location for Distributed Parameter Systems

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is a unified approach to estimation and sensor design for distributed parameter systems. Estimation is of interest to numerous communities outside of control, for example, in the study of fluid dynamics and improvements in building comfort and efficiency. Proper sensor placement is part of effective estimation. This research program includes a number of important applications; reducing bridge vibrations, thermostat placement to improve building efficiency and sensor placement to study temperature and currents in large lakes. Progress towards the long-term goal of better estimation in distributed parameter systems requires fundamental theoretical contributions, in particular to estimation of nonlinear systems.
