(ABSTRACT) We consider the problem of controlling a thermal convection flow by feedback. The system is governed by the Boussinesq approximation of the coupled set of Navier-Stokes and heat equations.… (More)
BACKGROUND
Written local wellness policies (LWPs) are mandated in school systems to enhance opportunities for healthy eating/activity. LWP effectiveness relies on school-level implementation. We… (More)
A wide number of inverse problems consist in selecting best parameter values of a given mathematical model based fits to measured data. These are usually formulated as optimization problems and the… (More)

The problem of existence of functional gains for boundary control of parabolic problems remains incomplete. In particular, it is not yet known when LQR feedback operators have integral… (More)
Schools with wellness teams are more likely to implement federally mandated Local Wellness Policies (LWPs, Local Education Agency-level policies for healthy eating/physical activity). Best practices… (More)
Sensitivity analysis can provide useful information when one is interested in identifying the parameter θ of a system since it measures the variations of the output u when θ changes. In the… (More)
