Trends in Data-driven Control of Dynamics

September 28 - 30, 2026

Our environment is known to be more complicated than mathematical models can describe. In recent years, real-world data have been discovered as relevant source of additional information. This workshop focuses on various challenges at the interfaces between mathematics and applications. Topics of interest include, among others:

  • Approximating orbits, manifolds and limit sets
  • Stabilizing dynamical systems by feedback
  • Continuation with noninvasive control schemes
  • Equation-free methods for large systems
  • Invariant sets in dynamics
  • Rigorous aspects of data-driven methods
  • Uncertainties: deterministic & stochastic concepts
  • Real applications in science and engineering
