Mat-Dyn-Net Winter School  on

Model Reduction for Optimization and Control

The winter school is held on 19 - 23 February 2024 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

  

The school aims to provide a coherent set of lectures that will elucidate the mathematical foundations of the control of dynamical systems, with particular emphasis on optimization and computational methods for large-scale systems based on model reduction. It is particularly aimed at PhD students, but not limited to.

  • Serkan Gugercin, Department of Mathematics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA
  • Olga Mula, TU Eindhoven, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
  • Martin Stoll, Department of Mathematics, TU Chemnitz, Chemnitz, Germany

Lectures will be held at Centre for Advanced Academic Studies.

Deadlines:

  • Registration until 20 October 2023.

SCHEDULE

The school will begin on Monday lunchtime, February 19th, 2024, and end by lunchtime on Friday, February 23rd, 2024.

 Olga Mula: Nonlinear, Geometric Reduced Models for Forward and Inverse Problems
 This course will discuss the role of nonlinear approximation and geometry to address bottlenecks in reduced order modelling when applied to forward and inverse problems.
 
 Martin Stoll: Low-rank methods for PDE-constrained optimization
 Solving PDE-constrained optimization problems leads to very large linear systems in structured form. In my talk I will first explain how to discretize these problems and arrive at the large linear systems and how to solve them efficiently using preconditioned Krylov solvers. We then illustrate that the systems can be written in very structured form and we can utilize this structure for developing low-rank methods that approximate the solution in space and time.
