In this contribution we introduce an efficient simulation scheme for a class of hyperbolic dynamic systems, which model the age-structured evolution microorganism population in bio reactor. Due to non-local boundary condition and semilinear transient behavior, standard methods like finite-differences do not lead satisfactory results, even at high approximation orders. This gives rise advanced schemes: The presented algorithm utilizes framework weighted residuals preserves crucial properties...

This article analyzes a class of distributed parameter systems, which consist boundary-controlled partial differential equation (PDE) and static boundary-value problem (BVP) generating the measured output. We focus on steady-state reachability given output profiles construct corresponding input signals using modal decomposition techniques. Furthermore, we identify PDE modes contribute to establish state estimates. An Euler-Bernoulli beam that deforms under thermal load is chosen as an...

Thermal lensing limits the beam quality of high-power lasers and evokes setpoint-dependent disturbances. Since these effects cannot be corrected outside resonator, intra-cavity deformable mirrors stand to reason.
