Wolfgang Desch & Franz Kappel 
Control and Estimation of Distributed Parameter Systems 
International Conference in Maria Trost (Austria), July 15-21, 2001

Consisting of 16 refereed original contributions, this volume presents a diversified collection of recent results in control of distributed parameter systems. Topics addressed include — optimal control in fluid mechanics — numerical methods for optimal control of partial differential equations — modeling and control of shells — level set methods — mesh adaptation for parameter estimation problems — shape optimization Advanced graduate students and researchers will find the book an excellent guide to the forefront of control and estimation of distributed parameter systems.
