Proceedings of a conference held at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, in March 1993. Topics include optimal relaxed controls for nonlinear infinite dimensional stochastic differential inclusions, identifying the nonlinearity on a parabolic boundary value problem, continuity of a parametrized linear quadratic optimal control problem, some remarks on ergodic and periodic control, optimal boundary control of nonlinear parabolic equations, and a variational approach to shape optimization for the Navier-Stokes equation.

"Based on the International Conference on Optimal Control of Differential Equations held recently at Ohio University, Athens, this Festschrift to honor the sixty-fifth birthday of Constantin Corduneanu an outstanding researcher in differential and integral equations provides in-depth coverage of recent advances, applications, and open problems relevant to mathematics and physics. Introduces new results as well as novel methods and techniques!"
