Invited lecture

We study a class of nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations with boundary control. This class describes chemical reactions of the type “A → product” carried out in a plug flow reactor (PFR) in the presence of an inert component. An isoperimetric optimal control problem with periodic boundary conditions and input constraints is
formulated for the considered mathematical model in...

Invited lecture

Optimizing complex processes is crucial in industries like food production and materials science, where improving product quality and efficiency can drive innovation. Achieving optimal control in these systems requires advanced techniques to handle nonlinearity, uncertainty, and high-dimensionality.
In this talk, we will navigate a diverse landscape of approaches encompassing physical...
