This paper studies optimal time-bounded control in multi-mode systems with discrete costs. Multi-mode systems are an important subclass of linear hybrid systems, in which there are no guards on transitions and all invariants are global.…
For linear control systems in discrete time controllability properties are characterized. In particular, a unique control set with nonvoid interior exists and it is bounded in the hyperbolic case. Then a formula for the invariance pressure…

We show that the any nonempty open set on a hyperbolic surface provides observability and control for the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation. The only other manifolds for which this was previously known are flat tori. The proof is based…

We prove the existence of a universal gap for minimum time controllability of finite dimensional quantum systems, except for some basic representations of spin groups. This is equivalent to the existence of a gap in the diameter of orbit…
An optimal control problem for the continuity equation is considered. The aim of a "controller" is to maximize the total mass within a target set at a given time moment. The existence of optimal controls is established. For a particular…
We study wave maps from the circle to a general compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that the global controllability of this geometric equation is characterized precisely by the homotopy class of the data. As a remarkable intermediate…
We consider the null-controllability problem for the generalized Baouendi-Grushin equation $(\partial_t - \partial_x^2 - q(x)^2\partial_y^2)f = 1_\omega u$ on a rectangular domain. Sharp controllability results already exist when the…
For mechanical systems we present a controller able to track an unknown smooth signal, converging in finite time and by means of a continuous control signal. The control scheme is insensitive against unknown perturbations with bounded…
This paper is devoted to the study of the null and approximate controllability for some classes of linear coupled parabolic systems with less controls than equations. More precisely, for a given bounded domain in R^N, we consider a system…
For time-inconsistent stochastic controls in discrete time and finite horizon, an open problem in Bj\"ork and Murgoci (Finance Stoch, 2014) is the existence of an equilibrium control. A nonrandomized Borel measurable Markov equilibrium…
We investigate the local boundary controllability of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with right Neumann boundary controls at critical lengths. We show that the KdV system is not locally null-controllable in small time for all critical…
