Abstract Floquet engineering consists in the modification of physical systems by application periodic time-dependent perturbations. The search for shape perturbation that best modifies properties a system order to achieve some predefined metastable target behavior can be formulated as an optimal control problem. We discuss several ways formulate and solve this present, examples, applications co...

THIS BOOK IS A compilation of texts presented by a large number of British authors at an lEE Vacation School for engineers from industry and academia held at the University of Strathclyde, U.K. in September 1990. Artificial intelligence techniques are expected to hold much potential for industrial control systems in the years to come. This is a fascinating and emerging area in which people from...
