Jerry McMahan Jr.

Wecome to my webpage at NCSU! My name is Jerry McMahan Jr. and I am a PhD student in applied mathematics. My advisor is Ralph Smith. I have been working with him mostly on adaptive control methods for hysteretic smart systems. My research interests are mostly in control theory, particularly nonlinear control and applications. I'm also interested in numerical analysis, numerical methods, geometric control, control of distributed parameter systems, and functional analysis.

Here are some incomplete condensed notes I wrote to help with studying for qualifiers and to use as references later:

Analysis
Control

They're mostly a collection of the definitions, formulas, and equations to be remembered. Some of the theorems have notes to suggest the idea of how the proofs work, but not as many as you might like. These both mostly cover the material from the second semesters of the course sequences (i.e., the measure theory and integration, and optimal control), although I'd like to fill in the rest sometime (i.e., the material on functional analysis and linear systems).

My neglected personal website is ensomnya.net. It houses a few projects and drawings I did a while back.
