Spring 1998

IMA Workshop:

Nonlinear Identification and Control

April 27 - May 1, 1998

Organizers:

Yannis Kevrekedis, Chair
P. S. Krishnapasad
Erik Ydstie

Participants

The adaptive identification of nonlinear models, from both time series and spatial data, is an important component of modeling and controlling physical systems. Advances in nonlinear process control, and in image acquisition and processing techniques together with the low-dimensionality of the underlying fundamental dynamics set a new stage for the dialogue between modeling and control of nonlinear processes. This short workshop studied several aspects of this dialogue: time series processing, image compression and principal component analysis, adaptive and model predictive control, feedback in distributed systems as well as hybrid systems with continuous and discrete-time components. Industrial participation in this workshop was especially encouraged and additional participants from industry were invited.
