1. INTROOUCTION

In this lecture we shall first present a brief account of several areas of applications which have motivated our recent efforts, both theoretical and numerical, on approximation methods for estimation and control of infinite dimensional systems. We then shall sketch the general theoretical ideas we have employed to establish convergence results for related iterative schemes. Finally we return to two of the applications and illustrate the use ...
