Flatness and backstepping techniques and their generalization to PDEs with higher-dimensional spatial domain lie at the core of this treatise. This includes the development of systematic late lumping design procedures and the deduction of semi-numerical approaches using suitable approximation methods. Theoretical developments are combined with both simulation examples and experimental results to bridge the gap between mathematical theory and control engineering practice in the rapidly evolving PDE control area. The text is divided into five parts featuring: - a literature survey of paradigms and control design methods for PDE systems - the first principle mathematical modeling of applications arising in heat and mass transfer, interconnected multi-agent systems, and piezo-actuated smart elastic structures - the generalization of flatness-based trajectory planning and feedforward control to parabolic and biharmonic PDE systems defined on general higher-dimensional domains - an extension of the backstepping approach to the feedback control and observer design for parabolic PDEs with parallelepiped domain and spatially and time varying parameters - the development of design techniques to realize exponentially stabilizing tracking control - the evaluation in simulations and experiments Control of Higher-Dimensional PDEs ? Flatness and Backstepping Designs is an advanced research monograph for graduate students in applied mathematics, control theory, and related fields. The book may serve as a reference to recent developments for researchers and control engineers interested in the analysis and control of systems governed by PDEs. 410 0$aCommunications and Control Engineering,$x0178-5354 606 $aDistributed parameter systems 606 $aNonlinear control theory 606 $aDifferential equations, Partial 615 0$aDistributed parameter systems. 615 0$aNonlinear control theory. 615 0$aDifferential equations, Partial. 676 $a500 700 $aMeurer$b Thomas$01058416 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437768003321 996 $aControl of higher-dimensional PDEs$94190489 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04371nam 22006255 450 001 9910993935303321 005 20250610055157.0 010 $a9783031871160 010 $a3031871162 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-87116-0 035 $a(CKB)38337777300041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-87116-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32005795 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32005795 035 $a(OCoLC)1514955363 035 $a(EXLCZ)9938337777300041 100 $a20250409d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aNarrative, Digitality, Well-Being /$fby Michael O'Sullivan 205 $a1st ed. 2025. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2025. 215 $a1 online resource (XIII, 188 p. 3 illus., 2 illus. in color.) 311 08$a9783031871153 311 08$a3031871154 327 $a-- 1.

Technology in the English classroom and lecture theatre in Ireland: teachers? perspectives on wellbeing and the language of narration. 330 $aNarrative, Digitality, Well-Being Narrative, Digitality, Wellbeing adopts a transdisciplinary approach in exploring new forms of narrative that have emerged in a digital age, an age of new online practices that are both associated with increased risk and enhanced sense of identity. The book examines new literary narratives, new philosophies of digitality, and new approaches to cross-disciplinary work between narrative theory and psychology in the context of digital environments, interactions, and practices. It also explores through textual analysis and quantitative and qualitative analysis how users shape and understand these new narrative interactions for their own wellbeing and how educators assess the relationships between narratives and wellbeing in the classroom and lecture theatre. The book argues that theories of narrative need to be updated to account for these new forms of narrative and to account for the new ways narrative is employed by users to enhance wellbeing.
