Workshop
Analysis and Geometry in Control Theory and its Applications
lunedì 9 giugno 2014 - venerdì, 13 giugno 2014
Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INDAM)
Piazzale Aldo Moro, 500185 Roma
In many fields of mathematics, a huge and growing volume of activity has been accompanied by fragmentation into a multitude of narrow specialities. But outstanding advances are many times the end-result of the quest for unifying themes and a synthesis of different approaches.

Control Theory and its Applications is no exception. Here, the fruitful interplay of analysis and geometry has had a crucial role in the evolution of the field.

This Workshop is aimed at reaffirming this perspective, and paying affectionate homage to two prominent researchers engaged in this challenging adventure: Hélène FRANKOWSKA and Héctor J. SUSSMANN.
