Minisymposium 4: Numerical optimal control with PDE constraints

Time: 15:30 - 17:30
Room: L1, Building L
Organiser: Kathrin Flaßkamp, Universität Bremen, Kurt Chudej, Universität Bayreuth, and Matthias Gerdts, Universität der Bundeswehr, München
Chair: Kathrin Flaßkamp, Universität Bremen, Kurt Chudej, Universität Bayreuth

Most optimal control problems that arise e.g. in engineering or biomedical applications have to be addressed by numerical methods. The minisymposium brings together several presentations from numerical optimal control. This includes newly developed numerical methods and their analyses as well as applications of optimization-based control. Optimal control problems of ordinary and partial differential equations as well as of coupled systems are considered.

 

Speakers:

15:30 - 16:00Falk Hante (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)
Gradient descent methods for optimization with mixed-integer and PDE constraints
16:00 - 16:30Duncan Gathungu (Universität Würzburg)
A multigrid scheme for solving convection-diffusion-integral optimal control problems
16:30 - 17:00Mario Annunziato (Università degli Studi di Salerno)
A numerical solver for the Fokker-Planck optimal control of stochastic jump-diffusion processes
