Abstract

Constrained optimization is presented as a key enabler for answering numerous important questions in the heart of flow control These problems range from the extraction of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition modes and tools from linear control theory to optimal control which can be applied to any type of nonlinear systems The determination of optimal growth disturbances is presented as a particular case of constrained optimization The chapter shall provide a complete description for deriving analytically and solving numerically any specific formulation of constrained optimization
