A Survey of Some Problems and Recent Results for Parameter Estimation and Optimal Control in Delay and Distributed Parameter Systems.

Abstract

The investigator surveyed a number of applications and problems motivating his current efforts on numerical techniques for parameter estimation in and optimal control of delay and partial differential equations. He then outlined two different approaches for establishing theoretical convergence results for estimation algorithms. An application of modal techniques to the investigation of transport in brain tissue is briefly explained. A sketch of a convergence theory for spline techniques for function space parameter estimation problems is given.
