"PDE constrained optimization in engineering applications"

Prof. Dr. Michael Hinze, Fachbereich Mathematik, University of Hamburg

Solving optimization problems subject to constraints involving distributed parameter systems is one of the most challenging problems in the context of industrial applications. In particular, here the transition from model-based numerical simulations to model-based design and optimal control is crucial.

In this talk we address the basic tasks and discuss the basic concepts of PDE constrained optimization for model applications dealing with

- flow control,
- control of crystal growth, and with
- semiconductor design.

Numerical examples are presented which show the scope of PDE constrained optimization in engineering applications.

Newsflash

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
