This award supports a research cooperation in systems                           theory between John Burns and Terry Herdman at                                  Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Elena Fernandez at                           the Institute of Technological Development for                                  Industrial Chemistry in Santa Fe, Argentina.  The                               research effort is in the development and analysis of                           computational methods for the estimation of parameters                          and control of partial and partial-functional                                   differential equations.  Approximation schemes will be                          developed for application to the identification,                                control and optimal design of aerospace systems,                                especially large space structures and aeroelastic                               systems.  Accurate modeling in such systems involves                            partial and functional differential equations                                   requiring considerable mathematical analysis for                                necessary dynamic modeling, estimation, computation                             and control science.                                                                                                                                            The U.S. scientists are experts on such modeling using                          these kinds of differential equations and have                                  established a good rapport with their Argentinian                               counterpart.  Currently, there is much international                            interest in this area, especially from Europe and                               Japan and recently from South America.  This                                    cooperation will enhance the participation of the                               Argentinian mathematics community and the position of                           the U.S. as a leader in this important field.
