- Aim of the workshop
In many fields of mathematics, a huge and growing volume of activity has been accompanied by fragmentation into a multitude of narrow specialities. But outstanding advances are many times the end-result of the quest for unifying themes and a synthesis of different approaches.
Control Theory and its Applications is no exception. Here, the fruitful interplay of analysis and geometry has had a crucial role in the evolution of the field.
This Workshop is aimed at reaffirming this perspective, and paying affectionate homage to two prominent researchers engaged in this challenging adventure: Hélène Frankowska and Héctor J. Sussmann.
