Simulation and model predictive control of two-phase flows

We present a fully practical residual-based adaptive simulation framework for two-phase flows with variable densities governed by a Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes model with double obstacle potential. In...

Non-Lambertian Models for the Shape from Shading problem: Analysis and Approximation via a Semi-Lagrangian Approach

The Shape--from--Shading problem is a well known ill-posed problem. Several contributions have addressed the case of Lambertian surfaces improving the model with the introduction of perspective deform...

Proper extension of minimum problems with unbounded controls

I will introduce the notion of "limit solution" for nonlinear o.d.e.'s where a control u is present together its time derivative. The control u is allowed to be a discontinuous integrable function,so ...

Optimal control of consensus models

In this talk we review basic alignment models appearing in high-dimensional, social dynamics of multi-agent systems. We study the emergence of self-organization phenomena, and the convergence to conse...

A model problem for Mean Field Games on networks

We consider the model problem "What time does the meeting start?" as a prototype for a general class of optimization problems with a continuum of players, called Mean Field Games. Since the dynamics o...

Zubov's method for interconnected systems - a dissipative formulation

We study the domain of attraction of an asymptotically stable fixed point of the feedback interconnections of two nonlinear systems. For each subsystem we introduce an auxiliary system and assume that...

Guidance and Control for Spacecraft Planar Re-phasing via Input Shaping and Differential Drag

Maneuvering of low Earth orbiting small spacecraft can be executed without propellant via atmospheric differential drag. This talk introduces analytical guidance solutions for short distance spacecraf...

Generalization of Arakawa's Jacobian

There are several well known methods to discretize, by finite differences, the vorticity equation for two-dimensional incompressible flow, but Arakawa's Jacobian is one of the most renowned solutions ...

Error estimate for second order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with unbounded coefficients. Application to chance-constrained control problems

In this talk we shall present numerical approximations of unbounded value functions associated to some stochastic control problems. We derive new error estimates for monotone schemes based on Markov c...

Reachability analysis and general control problems

In this talk, we will review some known results on the link between reachability analysis and optimal control problems in the deterministic setting. We will show how this link can be used to get a con...
