This project has three major components;  feedback                         synthesis for boundary control problems, modeling and inverse                   problem techniques for biological systems, and sensitivity                      analysis and regularization for inverse problems.  In the first                 of these, computational techniques will be developed which will                 lead to point and boundary control for partial differential                     equations.  Applications include the design and implementation                  of controls for large flexible structures.  In the second, the                  mathematical theory of inverse problems will be used and                        extended in order that mathematical models of structured                        populations can be automatically generated from experimental                    data.  In this way perhaps hidden laws of structured population                 interactions can be discovered or more completely understood.                   The third topic involves the study of strategies so that                        singular or unstable processes may be regulated, thereby                        allowing computational methods to be used with some degree of                   confidence.  Optimal choices for regularizing parameters are to                 be sought.
