Brockett (Harvard University)Title: A New Formulation of the Optimal Control Problem Involving Implementation Cost Although much of the literature on automatic control is concerned with definitions of optimality relating to the shape of trajectories and the magnitude of the control required to generate them, it often happens that costs related to the implementation of the control are more significant than the cost associated with imperfect trajectories. In biological motor control, for example, there are many situations in which imprecise control is virtually as good as precise control; the more important objective is to find a control law that can be implemented without diverting attention from the other tasks which are more pressing. This raises a question that has received little notice until now, ``How can the cost of implementation be taken into account when formulating an optimal control problem?`` Starting from the point of view that the easiest control law to implement is a constant, we develop a family of precise optimization problems whose solution lead to controls that require less frequent updating and are more robust with respect to small changes in the data. These considerations suggest a mathematical approach leading to a measure of the attention required to implement a given control law.Fabrizio Catanese (University of Bayreuth)Title: Lefschetz fibrations in the differentiable and symplectic category and applications to Moduli spaces of algebraic surfacesIn the talk I will report about joint work with B.
