　　六、内容简介：

　　Several nonlinear control analysis and design problems, such as stability and stabilization problems, adaptive control problems, model reduction and observer design, optimal/robust control and game theory problems, rely upon the computation of solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs). These could be linear PDEs, such as those encountered in stability, stabilization, adaptive control and observer design; nonlinear PDES, such as the Hamilton Jacobi PDEs; or coupled PDES, such as those arising in game theory and in mean field games. In this talk we present a method to replace PDEs with algebraic equations at the expense of sacrificing performance (in a measurable way). The method is shown to be sufficiently flexible to deal with a wide range of problems and to provide solutions which are more accurate than those obtained using series expansion methods or other numerical schemes for the solutions of PDEs. Examples in the areas of engine control, multi agent systems and state estimations illustrate the theory.

　　七、主讲人简介：

　　Alessandro Astolfi was born in Rome, Italy, in 1967. He graduated in electrical engineering from the University of Rome in 1991. In 1992 he joined ETH-Zurich where he obtained a M.Sc. in Information Theory in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree with Medal of Honor in 1995 with a thesis on discontinuous stabilisation of nonholonomic systems. In 1996 he was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Rome "La Sapienza" for his work on nonlinear robust control. Since 1996 he has been with the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London, London (UK), where he is currently Professor of Nonlinear Control Theory and Head of the Control and Power Group. From 1998 to 2003 he was also an Associate Professor at the Dept. of Electronics and Information of the Politecnico of Milano. Since 2005 he has also been a Professor at Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ingegneria Informatica, University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research interests are focussed on mathematical control theory and control applications, with special emphasis for the problems of discontinuous stabilisation, robust and adaptive control, observer design and model reduction.
