Control Theory and Related Topics In Memory of Prof Xunjing Li (1935v2003)

Professor Xunjing Li (1935-2003) was a pioneer in control theory in China. He was influential in the Chinese community of applied mathematics, and the global community of optimal control theory of distributed parameter systems. He has made very important contributions to the optimal control theory of distributed parameter systems, in particular regarding the first-order necessary conditions (Pontryagin-type maximum principle) for optimal control of nonlinear infinite-dimensional systems. This proceedings volume is a collection of original research papers or reviews authored or co-authored by Professor Li's former students, postdoctoral fellows, and mentored scholars in the areas of control theory, dynamic systems, mathematical finance, and stochastic analysis, among others. These articles show in some degree the influence of Professor Xunjing Li.Tang, Shanjian is the author of 'Control Theory and Related Topics In Memory of Prof Xunjing Li (1935v2003)', published 2007 under ISBN 9789812705822 and ISBN 9812705821.
