Summary
Control Processes Research Center of Program Systems Institute of RAS conducts research in the field of mathematical control theory and its applications. Geometrical, analytical and computer methods for detailed analysis of nonlinear control problems with big symmetry group are developed (in particular, invariant problems on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces). An important research direction of the center is applying obtained theoretical results to solve actual problems in image restoration, mechanics and robotics.

Main Results
Difficult actual problems of the geometric control theory were studied:
- Euler's elastic problem;
- The problem of optimal rolling of a sphere on a plane without slipping;
