Εμφάνιση ενός Νέου - DO NOT DELETE

Την Πέμπτη 18/1/2018 στις 12:00, στην αίθουσα 2042 (Κτίριο Επιστημών, Πολυτεχνειούπολη), θα δοθεί ομιλία  με τίτλο "Control of PDE-ODE Interconnections for Traffic and Energy Systems", από τον κ. Νικόλαο Μπεκιάρη-Λυμπέρη.

Περίληψη: Numerous physical processes are described by interconnections of Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) systems with Partial Differential Equation (PDE) systems. In this talk, I will focus on two particular classes, namely, nonlinear ODE-quasilinear transport PDE cascades (giving rise to a nonlinear ODE system with input-dependent input delay) and linear ODE-linear transport PDE systems with distributed coupling (giving rise to a linear ODE system with distributed sensor delay). For the former class, I will present a predictor-feedback design, whereas for the latter, I will present a predictor-observer design. I will illustrate, both experimentally and in simulation with real data, the potential of the designs with two specific applications, namely, traffic flow control/estimation and human occupancy detection.
