Dear OPTEC Members and Friends,

feel warmly invited to today's talk by our visitor Sebastian Sager, leader of the junior
group "Mathematical Optimization" at IWR, Heidelberg, see the abstract below.
It concerns core topics of WG3 and WG1.

"Optimum Experimental Design in the Light of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle"

Dr. Sebastian Sager, IWR, University of Heidelberg

We present the problem class of Optimum Experimental Design, a class of structured non-standard optimal control problems. We reformulate it until we are able to investigate sampling decisions (whether or not to measure at any given possible measurement time point / interval) by means of Pontryagin's maximum principle. We draw several conclusions from the investigations and illustrate them by means of a numerical example.

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.
