Geometry and Topology Seminar: "Bilinear Systems on Lie Groups: An Example of Geometric Control Theory"
Speaker: Gong Cheng, Washington University in Saint Louis
Abstract: The study of bilinear system is one of the central topics in nonlinear control and geometric control theory. Investigating fundamental properties of such systems has been a prosperous and continuing research topic for decades, but still remains challenging. In this talk, I'll introduce the general theory of geometric control, its connection to differential geometry, and discuss our recent work on the controllability of bilinear systems on $SO(n)$. This is joint work with Wei Zhang and Jr-Shin Li.
