"Model Predictive Control of PDEs"

Nils Altmüller,
University of Bayreuth-Germany

Abstract

Model predictive control (MPC) is a well established method for the
control of dynamical systems. It is widely used in industrial
applications.
In this talk we consider MPC of time dependent parabolic and hyperbolic
PDEs. We present stability results for the linear wave equation and
particularly we analyze the case of instantaneous control. Because real
time PDE-constrained optimization is in general difficult we combine
predictive control and model reduction techniques (Proper Orthogonal
Decomposition). Numerical results for semilinear parabolic PDEs are
presented.

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.
