Recent Advances in Parameteridentification Techniques for O.D.E.

Abstract

Parameteridentification (PI) techniques have found a rapidly increasing interest in the past years, particularly in biology, chemistry and other sciences, where a quantitative description of a complex process can often not be derived from investigations into isolated subsystems by in vitro experiments, and observations of the complete process in vivo are the only source of information. At the same time, the development of conceptionally new numerical methods has promoted substantial improvements in the treatment of such problems.
