Presentation/Project
scope
The aim of the project is to bundle the efforts of control
and applied mathematics laboratories (from
both theoretical and experimental point of view) dealing
with the structural properties and control of
systems pertaining to different physical areas (acoustics,
structural mechanics, mass and heat transport phenomena,
chemical engineering systems, material science) for the
development of methods and algorithms for the
boundary control of nonlinear and dissipative open
multiphysical systems using the formalism of
dissipative Hamiltonian systems with boundary port
variables. The first kernel topic of the
project is to deal with coupled reversible and
irreversible phenomena and deal for instance with or
coupled convection and diffusive phenomena using the
common geometric structure of Stokes-Dirac structures.
The second kernel topic is to deal with approximations
of infinite- dimensional port Hamiltonian systems
obtained by spatial discretization preserving the Dirac
structure and develop algorithms robust with respect to
this reduction.
