Control and Information Theory - ECOLE ANNULEE

The aim of this school is to provide courses for graduate students and young researchers. These courses will focus on Control Theory (and, in particular, Geometric Control and Control of Partial Differential Equations) and also Information Theory. In addition, applications of Control and Information Theory as well as their interactions with other fields such as Economy and Physics will be studied. The scientific contents of the school can be decomposed in two parts. The first part is made of 3 courses (of 6 hours each) in Information Theory and one course in Geometric Control. The second part consists of 3 courses in Control of Partial Differential Equations and a course in Geometric Control Theory. Besides lectures, we consider some sessions for research presentations, which will present applications of the theories presented in the courses and interactions with other disciplines.
