Microscopic/stochastic timesteppers and coarse control: a kinetic Monte Carlo example

Authors

Description

Coarse timesteppers provide a bridge between microscopic / stochastic system descriptions and macroscopic tasks such as coarse stability/bifurcation computations. Exploiting this computational enabling technology, we present a framework for designing observers and controllers based on microscopic simulations, that can be used for their coarse control. The proposed methodology provides a bridge between traditional numerical analysis and control theory on the one hand and microscopic simulation on the other.
