CoDAlab is an active group at an interdisciplinary intersection of areas such as applied
mathematics, systems engineering and control, energy, or biomedical engineering. Research
within CoDAlab progresses in two interrelated directions: a theoretical one, providing insights to
the state of the art; and an applied one, developing useful tools in real-world systems, especially
in mechanical systems, civil engineering, and more recently, in the field of biomedical
engineering.

Computational geometry is a discipline that lies between mathematics and theoretical computer
science. The research group DCCG studies problems from computational geometry and its
applications, discrete and combinatorial geometry, and graph theory. We also study structural and
geometric aspects of graphs/networks.

The aims of the present Research Group are the study of several subjects in the field of Partial
Differential Equations (PDE’s) and their applications, also combined with the study of other
mathematical tools to deal with some specific models. A particular emphasis is put into models
that come from Physics, Mathematical Biology, and technological applications.

Objectives
The general objective of the group is to study properties of mathematical structures of a
geometric type, such as algebraic, symplectic, differential varieties, etc., and it is intended to do
so from different points of view (global, local, dynamic, facing the applications) and using
different techniques (geometric, algebraic, topological, arithmetic, differential and
computational).

The main aim of the research group is to study thermomechanical problems that can be modelled
in terms of partial differential equations. The group field of interest is broad, however, and
includes not only thermal problems but also other subjects that can be modelled in terms of
initial and boundary value problems.

Objectives
The group's activity is framed in Systems Theory, with the systematic use of geometric techniques. The project intersects two lines of work: the A-invariant subspaces and bimodal, switched and multi-agent systems. Another problem to study is that of decoupling the perturbations of dynamic networks trying to design a feedback to make the closed-loop system decoupled where the controlled invariant subspaces they play a key role.
