This meeting in Ghent is the fourth in a series of workshops that previously have taken place in Madrid (2006,2007) and Barcelona (2008). Its goal is to bring together young researchers working in geometric mechanics and control theory and to offer a platform to present the results of their research to an international audience.Attendance is, of course, open to anyone, but in particular young researchers (PhD-students, recent PhD's) are encouraged to deliver a talk at this meeting.
The following is a non-exhausted list of topics that can be covered during the workshop:
- Geometry: (multi)symplectic geometry, Poisson and Jacobi manifolds, Lie groups, Lie algebroids and Lie groupoids.
- Mechanics: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems, non-holonomic mechanics, calculus of variations, mechanical systems with symmetry, conservation laws and reduction, classical field theories, geometric integration of mechanical systems, geometric quantization.
- Control: optimal control theory, control of mechanical systems, geometric control.
Expository talks by
- Silvere Bonnabel (Ecole des Mines de Paris)
- Oscar Fernandez (University of Michigan)
- Francois Gay-Balmaz (Caltech)
- Bavo Langerock (St-Lucas Institute, Ghent),
- Ari Stern (University of California, San Diego)
