Scalable Algorithms for Physical Systems
We are seeking to develop more reliable algorithms for use with physical systems of varying dimensionality. Using these algorithms, we address issues of computational complexity and resource management in the design of algorithms for information determination, control, and sensitivity analysis which remain applicable to complicated nonlinear and impulsive systems. Our projects involve distributed control theory, hybrid control, sensitivity minimization, impacting systems, and information determination in continuous systems.
