This volume contains a collection of papers delivered by the
partici pants at the second Conference on Computation and Control
held at Mon tana State University in Bozeman, Montana from August
1-7, 1990. The conference, as well as this proceedings, attests to
the vitality and cohesion between the control theorist and the
numerical analyst that was adver tised by the first Conference on
Computation and Control in 1988. The proceedings of that initial
conference was published by Birkhiiuser Boston as the first volume
of this same series entitled Computation and Control, Proceedings
of the Bozeman Conference, Bozeman, Montana, 1988. Control theory
and numerical analysis are both, by their very nature,
interdisciplinary subjects as evidenced by their interaction with
other fields of mathematics and engineering. While it is clear that
new control or es timation algorithms and new feedback design
methodologies will need to be implemented computationally, it is
likewise clear that new problems in computational mathematics arise
when implementing a new generation of control algorithms. For these
reasons, computational mathematics is mov ing to the forefront in
recent developments in modern control theory and conversely control
theory and its applications continue to be a fertile area for
computationalists. This volume contains a representative cross
section of the interdisciplinary blend of analytic and numerical
techniques that of ten occur between advanced control design and
practical numerical solution of lumped and distributed parameter
systems."

The third Conference on Computation and Control was held at Mon
tana State University in Bozeman, Montana from August 5-11, 1992
and this proceedings represents the evolution that the conference
has taken since its 1988 and 1990 predecessors. The first
conference and proceedings (Volume 1 in PSCT) nurtured a dialogue
between researchers in control theory and the area of numerical
computation. This cross-fertilization was continued with the 1990
conference and proceedings (Volume 11 in PSCT) while forecasting
the theme for this conference. The present volume contains a
collection of papers addressing issues ranging from noise abatement
via smart material technology, robotic vi sion, and parameter
identification to feedback design challenges in fluid control and
other areas of topical interest. The area of feedback design in
fluid control spawns computational challenges in the form of
Burgers' equation which is addressed both with standard numerical
methods as well as new computational procedures. Applications which
involve inverse prob lems include material parameter estimation and
sampling in observability. Whether motivated by the plant or
arising as the distributed system in the design of a feedback
compensator for problems in nonlinear control, the theme of this
conference placed an emphasis on the use of partial dif ferential
equations in control theory. Through challenges initiated via the
control problem or the subsequent computational problem, the joint
efforts of experts from the respective disciplines enhance the
development of both.
Proceedings of a conference of leading experts in control theory,
numerical mathematics and various application areas. The
conference's interdisciplinary dialogue not only creates new
mathematical tools, it often produces new research problems in the
individual disciplines, aiming to develop rigorous numerical
methods and computational tools for control design and analysis.
The problem of developing a systematic approach to the design of
feed back strategies capable of shaping the response of complicated
dynamical control systems illustrates the integration of a wide
variety of mathemat ical disciplines typical of the modern theory
of systems and control. As a concrete example, one may consider the
control of fluid flow across an airfoil, for which recent
experiments indicate the possibility of delaying the onset of
turbulence by controlling viscosity through thermal actuators
located on the airfoil. In general, there are two approaches to the
con trol of such a complica. ted process, the development of
extremely detailed models of the process followed by the derivation
of a more "dedicated" feed back law or the development of a more
simple model class followed by the derivation of control laws which
are more robust to unmodelled dynamics and exogeneous disturbances.
In either approach, the two twin themes of approximation and
computation play a significant role in the derivation and
implementation of resulting control laws. And there is no doubt
that the cross-fertilization between these twin themes and control
theory will increase unabated throughout the next decade, not just
as an important component of design and implementation of control
laws but also as a source of new problems in computational
mathematics. In this volume, we present a collection of papers
which were deliv ered at the first Bozeman Conference on
Computation and Control, held at Montana State University on August
1-11, 1988."

Annie is unhappy that she has to share her grandmother, the mayor, with so many people, but when she helps out during a town emergency, Annie appreciates all that her grandmother does in the community.
Route 66 Dreamer is Michael Lund's tenth novel set in the
historical background of Route 66, the Nation's "Mother Road."
Earlier novels depicted life as it was in the Midwest during the
early golden ages of interstate highways and experiences of related
characters in "Growing Up on Route 66." The current 5-volume
series, headlined At Home and Away, chronicles an American family
during times of peace and war from 1915 to 2015. The first book,
Route 66 Sweetheart (2011), is set mostly in and around Rutherford,
New Jersey, during the 1930s. Route 66 Dreamer (2012) features the
son of a Swedish immigrant who pursues his dreams of American
success in Kansas and Missouri in the early 1940s. However, in both
books some family members move away to distant countries and
unexpected challenges. The third volume, Route 66 Looking-glass
(2013), will take place primarily in Missouri in 1965, but
characters also travel far from home and familiar experiences. Book
Four (2014) follows another generation of family members, this time
from Missouri to Southeast Asia where many learn, sadly, "how to
not tell a war story." In the final volume of the series (2015),
the next generation travels to Europe and the Middle East to
understand their identity in a multi-national community.
HOW TO NOT TELL A WAR STORY is a collection of short stories about
veterans who went to war but left without a war story to tell.
Forty years after their experience, these veterans begins question
if there is something more to say about their military service.
Among other things, they come to appreciate the lovers, friends,
and family who helped them shape a new, post-war identity. " . . .
when the courage of NFL star Tillman was referred to, or Jessica
Lynch was rescued, they all found themselves thinking back to their
long-ago tours. Did they have stories? Maybe memory had played
tricks on them, obscuring what would come to light at last. Back
then, they hadn't studied forms for the narration of danger, but
now, more aware, could they reshape their experience for the new
era? What, after all, about their friend, Butterball?" Explore with
Michael Lund the lives of these veterans who discover being in the
service is not something to be edited out of a personal history,
but an experience that stays in memory, not an ending but the
beginning of a measure of peace, no matter how short the stint, or
inglorious. Michael Lund is the author of nine novels about Route
66 and the generation that grew up in the Midwest in the 50s,
including Route 66 to Vietnam: A Draftee's Story, all published by
Beach House Books.
Route 66 Sweetheart tells the story of a young woman growing up in
Rutherford, New Jersey, in the 1930s. Marion (Mid) Lacy, who traces
her ancestry back to the early New World Settlement of Nantucket,
worries that she is overshadowed by more brilliant siblings and
friends. In an era restricted by economic hard times and haunted by
the prospect of approaching world war, she learns that all are
counted in the creation of history, even the "sweetheart" of a
distant admirer who travels "the Mother Road."
When the forces of progress threaten the foundation of small town
life-a small church-five senior citizens, a mysterious newcomer,
and one young couple band together in an unlikely campaign to save
it. The embattled meeting point of old and new is Route 66 Chapel,
a building curiously linked to America's "Mother Road."
This novel takes characters from earlier works in the Route 66
Novel Series farther west than Los Angeles, official destination of
the famous highway, Route 66. Mark Landon and Billy Rhodes find the
values they grew up on challenged by America's role in Southeast
Asia. But elements of their upbringing represented by the Mother
Road also sustain them in ways they could never have anticipated.
This volume of Acta Hyperborea includes chapters on mummy portraits
and early icons, Late Antique Architecture, Constantine's use of
spolia, the Iconography and Style of the Rothschild Cameo,
Christian Lamps and Phocaean red slip ware.
