Control of State-Constrained Dynamical Systems

The aim of this event is twofold. First, it is to bring together researchers working on optimal control of state-constrained dynamical systems, with an emphasis on sweeping processes and related fields, trying to foster new scientific relations. Secondly, it is to promote this field of optimization among graduate and undergraduate students. For these reasons this event will include two mini-courses on sweeping processes and optimality conditions.

The scope of the conference is mainly concerned with (but not limited to):

• the dynamics and the control of Moreau's sweeping process or of rate independent processes;
• the control of (classical) deterministic control problems with state constraints;
• models from science and technology involving general state constraints.

The School-Workshop Control of State-Constrained Dynamical Systems will take place in Valparaíso from the 24th to 27th of September 2019 at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. Lectures and talks will be held at the Auditorio Principal located in the A-Building on the campus.
The main entrance of the campus is via Portería Avenida España (Avenida España 1680, Valparaíso Chile), which is located within distance walking from the Valparaíso Metro station called Portales.

Warning: To reach the A-Building on the campus from Portería Avenida España you will have to climb around 100 stairs.

Public transport: Another alternative to reach the campus is to use UBER or CABIFY, which you can share with other participants. In the streets there are not many taxis and they are expensive. If you can ask for a taxi in your hotel probably will be cheaper, but to use UBER or CABIFY is our recommendation. If you do so, ask the driver to take you to Portería Placeres (Avenida Placeres 401, Valparaíso Chile), from there you go downhill to the A-Building on the campus.

Accommodation

We have made a pre-booking at special rates for the workshop participants (breakfast included). The hotel list is below:

Both hotels are located within distance walking from the Valparaíso Metro station called Miramar.

Social Dinner and evenings

A Social Dinner will take place on September 26, 2019 in the Araucanian fusion restaurant Ilo Mapu.

In the area around the Hotel Monterilla and Hotel Agora there are several restaurants and bars. In the following link there are some recommended restaurants and bars for the evening meals: Recommended restaurants and bars in Viña del Mar

Turistic information

Greater Valparaíso is the third largest metropolitan area in Chile and Chile's second most populated administrative region. The agglomeration is composed of several communes (Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Concón, Quintero, Quilpué and Villa Alemana), and each is governed by its respective municipality.
Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) northwest of Santiago by road, and have a warm-summer Mediterranean climate influenced on the coast by the Humboldt Current. Winters are damp and cool with daily high temperatures ranging from 13 to 17 °C (55 to 63 °F) and from 5 to 9 °C (41 to 48 °F) at night, rarely falling below freezing. Spring can vary from mild to cool.
