Publisher's Synopsis
This book reviews the most recent results on theoretical and numerical aspects of mathematical modelling and optimization of distributed parameter systems, including their applications in engineering. The main topics discussed include: properties of solutions to partial differential equations; optimization and optimal control of distributed parameter systems; numerical modelling; and applications in mechanical engineering and environmental problems.;The book is made up of a number of selected contributions from the International Conference on Modelling and Optimization of Distributed Parameter Systems with Applications to Engineering, organized by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Warsaw, Poland, in July 1995.
