On the international conference “actual problems of stability and control theory” (APSCT’2009)

Abstract

On September 21–26, 2009, the International Conference “Actual Problems of Stability and Control Theory” (APSCT’2009), devoted to the Ural Scientific School of Stability and Control Theory, was held in Yekaterinburg. The conference was organized by the Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Ural Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences jointly with Ural State University. The conference was held under and was supported by the Program of the Presidium of the RAS “Mathematical Theory of Control.” The program is coordinated by Academician N.N. Krasovskii, who is the founder and head of the Ural Scientific School of Control Theory. The conference was also supported by a grant of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and by the Presidium of the Ural Division of the RAS. The International Program Committee of the conference was chaired by President of the RAS Academician Yu.S. Osipov and cochaired by Academician of the RAS A.B. Kurzhanski. The Organizing Committee was cochaired by Corresponding Members of the RAS V.I. Berdyshev and V.E. Tret’yakov. More than 100 scientists from ten Russian cities, as well as from the United States, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Israel, Turkey, Poland, Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine, took part in the conference. Among the participants, there were outstanding Russian mathematicians Academicians S.N. Vasil’ev, S.V. Emel’yanov, I.I. Eremin, A.M. Il’in, N.N. Krasovskii, A.B. Kurzhanski, and A.V. Kryazhimskii as well as Corresponding Members of the RAS S.M. Aseev, V.I. Berdyshev, V.V. Vasin, A.A. Tolstonogov, V.E. Tret’yakov, V.N. Ushakov, and A.G. Chentsov. Well-known foreign scientists Professors T. Burton (USA), M. Falcone (Italy), G. Feichtinger (Austria), V. Veliov (Bulgaria), K. Malanowski (Poland), F.M. Kirillova (Belarus), and A.A. Chikrii (Ukraine) also took part in the conference. The topics of the International Conference “Actual Problems of Stability and Control Theory” (APSCT’2009) were related to major scientific directions in the study of dynamical systems, which are developed actively by the Ural Scientific School of Control Theory: theory of motion stability and stabilization, control and estimation theory for dynamical systems under uncertainty, differential games, control of distributed systems, generalized solutions to Hamilton–Jacobi equations,
