Series
School of Mathematics Colloquium
Time
Friday, September 19, 2014 - 11:00am for 1 hour (actually 50 minutes)
Location
Skiles 005
Speaker
Professor Alberto Bressan – Penn State University
Organizer
Martin Short
The talk will survey the main definitions and properties of patchy vector fields and patchy feedbacks, with applications to asymptotic feedback stabilization and nearly optimal feedback control design. Stability properties for discontinuous ODEs and robustness of patchy feedbacks will also be discussed.
