SUMMER SCHOOL Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations

The goal of the school is to offer a general overview of the recent techniques used in the field of optimal control for partial differential equations. A special emphasis will be given to the numerical solution of the large scale optimization problems which are typical in this area and to the methods for model reduction which allow to solve real problems, e.g. in the control of fluids and in optimal design. The school is mainly directed to PhD students, post-docs and young researchers in the areas of pdes, control and numerical analysis who would like to enter the field of optimal control of PDEs. To this end the school wants to present several techniques and point of views on this topic bringing together lectures on different aspects.
