On Tuesday April 1, 2025 Prof. Enrique Zuazua will give a Langtangen Seminar on Control and Machine Learning organized (online) by Marie E. Rognes and Thomas M. Surowiec.
Named in honour of Professor Hans Petter Langtangen, the Langtangen Seminar on Scientific Computing series by Simula, is a new online seminar series (held online every Tuesday) featuring leading international researchers presenting their latest work and insights into the future of Scientific Computing.
Abstract. Systems control, or cybernetics—a term first coined by Ampère and later popularized by Norbert Wiener—refers to the science of control and communication in animals and machines. The pursuit of this field dates back to antiquity, driven by the desire to create machines that autonomously perform human tasks, thereby enhancing freedom and efficiency.
The objectives of control systems closely parallel those of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI), illustrating both the profound unity within Mathematics and its extraordinary capacity to describe natural phenomena and drive technological innovation.
In this lecture, we will explore the connections between these mathematical disciplines and their broader implications. We will also discuss our recent work addressing two fundamental questions: Why does Machine Learning perform so effectively? And how can data-driven insights be integrated into the classical applied mathematics framework, particularly in the context of Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and numerical methods? This effort is leading us to a new emerging field of PDE+D(ata) in parallel to the development of new Digital Twins technologies.
