The main concern of this book is the application of infinite moment theory to the problem of controllability of one-di- mensional vibrating systems (like strings and beams) and heating processes. Distributed as well as boundary control is considered. In the case of vibrating systems trigonometric moment pro- blems are to be investigated which is done on the basis of an abstract moment theory in Hilbert spaces. Equivalently, alsothe th...

Its special feature is the use of a priori estimates of indeter- mined quantities on the form of sets. A unique method of ad- aptive control systems construction is described. A con- structional algorithm for solving parametric identification problems is suggested wh...
