This volume presents a timely overview of control theory and inverse problems, and highlights recent advances in these active research areas. The chapters are based on talks given at the spring school "Control & Inverse Problems held in Monastir, Tunisia in May 2022. In addition to providing a snapshot of these two areas, chapters also highlight breakthroughs on more specific topics, such as:

• Controllability of dynamical systems
• Information transfer in multiplier equations
• Nonparametric instrumental regression
• Control of chained systems
• The damped wave equation

Control and Inverse Problems will be a valuable resource for both established researchers as well as more junior members of the community.

Presents an overview of control theory and inverse problems suitable for both established and junior researchers Highlights recent advances in these rapidly developing areas of research Collects talks given at the spring school Control & Inverse Problems held in Monastir, Tunisia in May 2022
