Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences - Proceedings ((LNCOINSPRO))

Abstract

Many systems are modelled by partial differential equations. The boundary conditions are important and affect the dynamics. Also, the modelling of actuation and sensing is not straightforward. The modelling of the actuators and sensors, as well as their locations, can affect control and estimation performance and design.

The research described here was supported by an NSERC Discovery Grant and by AFOSR Grant FA9550-16-1-0061.
