Modelling, dynamics and control of spatially
distributed systems such as those described by partial differential equations
and dynamical systems on lattices.
The emphasis will be on linear, constructive and algebraic techniques.
The material in the course will be strongly motivated by physical examples.
Prototype problems from spatially distributed arrays of dynamical systems and
hydrodynamic stability will be used to illustrate the theory. |

ME243A/B (ECE230A/B) and a solid background in
advanced linear algebra. Familiarity with functional analysis
and a certain amount of ``mathematical maturity''
is helpful. Students will be expected to make up any missing mathematical background
using provided references. |
