Control theory for partial differential equations (PDEs) deals with the use of inputs to influence the behavior of a system governed by PDEs, to achieve a desired goal. This program is focused on recent outstanding developments on controllability and stabilizability of parabolic, hyperbolic and dispersive PDEs. These PDEs appear naturally as mathematical models in numerous applications in physics, engineering, biology, and medicine. Depending on the type of PDEs, the control aspects of PDEs and the techniques used to study them change significantly. To address this point, there will be a dedicated lecture series (mini courses) on (i) Control of parabolic PDEs, (ii) Control of hyperbolic PDEs, (iii) Control of dispersive PDEs, (iv) Feedback stabilization of PDEs, by experts, who have made exceptional contributions. Most of the talks will have an expository flavor in order to introduce the respective topic to a heterogeneous audience followed by few research talks. Each mini course will ...
