His research interests include numerical analysis, control theory and differential games.
Roberto Ferretti is Associate Professor of Numerical Analysis at Roma Tre University since 2001. He has been an invited professor in UCLA (USA), Universitet Goroda Pereslavlya (Russia), ENSTA-Paristech and IRMA (France), TU Munich (Germany) and UP Madrid (Spain). He has authored a monograph and more than 40 papers on international journals/volumes, in topics ranging from semi-Lagrangian schemes to optimal control, levelset methods, image processing and computational fluid Dynamics.
Lars Grüne is Professor for Applied Mathematics at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Augsburg in 1996 and his habilitation from Goethe University in Frankfurt/M in 2001. He held visiting positions at the Sapienza in Rome (Italy) and at the University of Newcastle (Australia) and is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Mathematics of Control, Signals and Systems. His research interests lie in the areas of mathematical systems theory and optimal control.
William M. McEneaney received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst., followed by M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Mathematics from Brown Univ. He has held academic positions at Carnegie Mellon Univ. and North Carolina State Univ., prior to his current appointment at Univ. of California, San Diego. His non-academic positions have included Jet Propulsion Laboratory and AirForce Office of Scientific Research. His interests include Stochastic Control and Games, Max-Plus Algebraic Numerical Methods, and the Principle of Stationary Action.
