In order to apply control theory in small autonomous vehicles, mathematical models with
small numbers of states are required for using the limited computational power in embedded …

In this thesis, structure-preserving model order reduction for dynamical systems is studied.
The particular focus lies on mechanical systems described by differential equations with …

Considering the use of dynamical systems in practical applications, often only limited
regions in the time or frequency domain are of interest. Therefore, it usually pays off to …

We consider an optimization problem related to semi-active damping of vibrating systems.
The main problem is to determine the best damping matrix able to minimize influence of the …

We consider a vibrational system control problem over a finite time horizon. The
performance measure of the system is taken to be a-mixed norm which generalizes the …

We consider new performance measures for vibrational systems based on the H2 norm of
linear time invariant systems. New measures will be used as an optimization criterion for the …

We consider the reduction of parametric families of linear dynamical systems having an
affine parameter dependence that allow for low-rank variation in the state matrix. Usual …

Suppressing vibrations in mechanical systems, usually described by second-order
dynamical models, is a challenging task in mechanical engineering in terms of …

In this work we consider the problem of semi‐active damping optimization of mechanical
systems with fixed damper positions. Our goal is to compute a damping that is locally optimal …
