3rd IFAC/IEEE CSS Workshop on Control of Systems Governed by Partial Differential Equations CPDE and XI Workshop Control of Distributed Parameter Systems, CDPS 2019.

The aim of organizing these two workshops in one is to bring together scientists interested in control of distributed parameter systems, namely those having different points of view and possessing different types of expertise. The conference will address new and state-of-the-art developments in modeling and control of distributed parameter systems and their application. Since the control design for these systems resides at the intersection of mathematics, systems and control theory, control systems technology, and computer and information science is essential to provide a joint forum to foster and evolve this important and emerging field of research. CPDE-CDPS’19  aims at providing this forum under the IFAC flagship,  with the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Control Systems Society and in collaboration with the Mexican Mathematical Society (SMM).

To enlarge the community of researches working in modeling and control of distributed parameter systems, before the workshop an introductory spring school will be held from May 16 to May 18.

The workshops and spring school will be held at Hotel Misión de los Ángeles, Oaxaca, México.

The Organizing Committee has the pleasure to invite you to participate in the 3rd IFAC/IEEE CSS Workshop on Control of Systems Governed by Partial Differential Equations (CPDE 2019) and XI Workshop on Control of Distributed Parameter Systems (CDPS 2019) to be held in Oaxaca, Mexico, May 20-24, 2019.

CPDE is the triennial meeting of IFAC for bringing together scientists interested in modelling and control of distributed parameter systems and their applications. CDPS started in 1998 with the aim to study and develop the mathematical machinery to study the control problems of distributed parameter systems. Since the control design for these systems resides at the intersection of mathematics, systems and control theory, control systems technology, and computer and information science CPDE-CDPS’19  aims at providing a forum to foster and develop this important and emerging field of research under the IFAC flagship, and with the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Control Systems Society.

The venue, Oaxaca city, is one of the safest and most economically stable regions in Mexico, considered Humanity’s Cultural Patrimony by UNESCO. The face of Oaxaca is charming 17th-century architecture: courtyards and shaded zocalos. Oaxaca offers beautiful architecture, distinctive restaurants, a rich array of cultural offerings, friendly population, harmonious relationship with nature and a temperate climate year-round. It has recently ranked second in The World’s Top 15 Cities by Travel and Leisure (https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/cities ).

The topics of the workshop will cover new and state-of-the-art developments in modeling and control of distributed parameter systems and its application. This covers approaches and techniques for the modeling, analysis, control, and observer/estimator design for systems governed by partial differential equations and includes (but is not limited to) methods such as differential geometric and algebraic approaches, semigroup and operator theory, Lyapunov-based and backstepping techniques, passivity and dissipativity, optimal control, controllability and observability analysis, stability theory, model reduction for control, computational methods, real-time control, actuator and sensor placement, experimental design.

In addition, applications are considered covering, e.g., smart and adaptive structures in mechatronics, marine systems and aerospace engineering, flow control, energy generation, distribution and storage, process intensification and process systems engineering, adaptive optics, quantum systems, distributed cooperative systems, communication, embedded actuators and sensors, traffic control and network congestion, and flexible micro-structures.

Five confirmed plenary talks will be delivered by Thomas Meurer, Emilia Fridman, Enrique Fernández Cara, Yuri Orlov and Nicolas Burq, well recognized experts in their fields. Also several invited keynotes will be presented. Invited sessions and posters are encouraged as well. Moreover, to enlarge the community of researches working in modeling and control of distributed parameter systems, prior to the workshop an introductory spring school will be held from May 16 to May 18, 2019, at the same location.

Oaxaca

The city of Oaxaca is one of the essential inheritances of Mexico. It is one of the few towns where all the historical periods of Mexico shine: pre-Hispanic, colonial, independent, modern, and contemporary are expressed in every street, colonial building, museum, colorful crafts, pre-Columbian ruins, and the many splendorous baroque churches that are to be found in every corner.  Since 1987 is considered as Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/415).

How to get There

Oaxaca has an international airport (OAX). You can either fly to Oaxaca from Mexico City (by Aeromexico, Interjet or Volaris) or from Houston (by United); there are also flights from other Mexican cities. There is an intercity bus service from Mexico City to Oaxaca; the trip takes 6 to 7 hours. The buses depart from Terminal de Autobuses de Pasajeros de Oriente (TAPO) which can be reached from the Mexico City Airport by city bus (metrobus).

Spring School

An introduction to modelling and control of systems governed by PDE's
16-18 May

Theoretical and numerical aspects of the controllability of parabolic PDEs and systems

Abstract:

These Lectures deal with some recent results concerning the controllability of systems governed by PDEs of parabolic kind. The aim is to present fundamental results, applications and open problems.

First, I will review some basic concepts and results. Here, the 1D heat equation will serve to illustrate the main achievements and difficulties.

Then, we will consider systems of the Navier-Stokes kind. We will analyze the exact controllability to the trajectories and some related questions from the theoretical and numerical viewpoints. We will also indicate a lot of questions and possible strategies.

Finally, several other control problems arising in applications will be studied. I will present results concerning, among others, the control of turbulence, hierarchical controllability, the control of free boundaries, etc.

Along these Lectures, a set of questions (some of them easy, some of them more intricate or even difficult) will be stated. Also, several open problems will be mentioned. I hope that all this will help to understand the underlying concepts and results.

New optimal control and null controllability results for Navier-Stokes-like systems

Abstract:

This talk is devoted to present some recent results dealing with the control of systems of the Navier-Stokes kind. We will consider some (new) optimal control and controllability problems and we will discuss theoretical and numerical aspects. In particular, we will deal with bi-objective optimal control, global approximate controllability and related questions.

Robust delayed and sampled-data control of parabolic PDEs

Abstract:

The talk will start with distributed control and estimation of semilinear 1D heat equations in the presence of input/output delays (which may include sampling in time). It is assumed that N sensors provide delayed in time point or averaged measurements of the state, whereas the delayed control is applied through distributed in space shape functions. Given upper bounds on the delays, sufficient conditions ensuring the stability and performance (exponential decay rate or L2-gain) are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities using appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals. Event-triggered, sampled-data relay control of heat equation and regional sampled-data stabilization of Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation will be presented. For systems with boundary or in-domain point actuation and sampled-data point measurements, the input delay is compensated using the observers of the future state. Finally, sampled-data boundary observers for 1D heat equations and some extensions to multidimensional PDEs will be discussed.

Multi-agent systems – continuum models and PDE-based control
Abstract:

Multi-agent systems consist of dynamical subsystems (agents) that exchange information so that the agent collective is enabled to solve complex tasks. Applications address robotic actuator and sensor networks, intelligent traffic control and monitoring systems, coupled micro-mechanical oscillators, load balancing in processor clusters, distributed energy systems, or networks of micro-satellites. For the mathematical description of multi-agent systems it is typically distinguished between the discrete and the continuous approach. While the discrete setting makes use of ordinary differential equations to model each agent and graph theoretical concepts to address the agent coupling in the continuous setting partial differential equations (PDEs) are considered to represent an agent continuum. The latter is particularly suited for systems involving a large number of agents but still allows to recover the individual agent dynamics and interconnection. This presentation addresses recent developments for modeling and control of multi-agent systems by exploiting the continuous setting using PDEs. It is shown that this set-up enables us to develop an inverse approach, where the collective dynamics of the agent continuum is a priori imposed and serves as a degree-of-freedom to be exploited for the control design. This implies a design that is in principle independent of the actual communication topology, i.e., the inter-agent communication network, that is naturally obtained by discretizing the PDE model and the determined controller. With this, distributed and decentralized control strategies can be efficiently deduced independently of the agent number and the topology. Theoretical developments are supported by simulation and  experimental results taking into account linear and nonlinear PDE models to solve problems of synchronization and formation control in large scale multi-agent system.

Adaptive identification and control of linear dynamic PDE and retarded systems
Abstract:

Lyapunov redesign approach is developed side by side for distributed parameter and time delay systems It is shown that if such a system is persistently excited by a sufficiently rich input unknown spatially-varying parameters of linear PDE's of parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic types are uniquely determined. In the case of linear time-delay systems, their weak controllability is shown to be necessary and sufficient condition of the identifiability of the unknown system parameters, including time-delay values. Multiple time-invariant commensurate and incommensurate delay values are admitted. Dynamic identifiers of the spatially distributed parameters as well as of the time delay systems are then constructed and utilized in the subsequent adaptive control synthesis of the systems in question. Theoreticsal results are numerically illustrated in applications to engine transient fuel identification and to that of heat processes.
