At first, the input and output signals are discretized in space and time, resulting in a matrix representation of an approximated input/output map. Then the system dynamics is approximated, in order to calculate the matrix representation numerically. The discretization framework, corresponding error estimates, a SVD-based system reduction method and a numerical application in optimization problems are presented, and illustrated for a heat control and a flow control system.en510 Mathematikflow-controlOseen equationtokes equationinput/output mapdiscretizationdifferential-algebraic equationA new discretization framework for input/output maps and its application to flow controlResearch Paper
