Abstract:
We give an overview of the research carried out under grant sponsorship and then give details concerning four of the problems we have worked on and for which we have obtained significant results. These are least-squares finite element methods for incompressible, viscous flows analysis of a shape control problem for the Navier-Stokes equations finite dimensional approximation of a class of nonlinear optimal control problems and feedback control of Karman vortex shedding. We then give lists of papers prepared and personnel supported under grant sponsorship.
