We characterize observable sets for 1-dim Schr\"{o}dinger equations in $\mathbb{R}$: $i \partial_t u = (-\partial_x^2+x^{2m})u$ (with $m\in \mathbb{N}:=\{0,1,\dots\}$). More precisely, we obtain what follows: First, when $m=0$,…
The measurability by means of continuous measurements, of an observable $\A(t_0)$, at an instant, and of a time averaged observable, $\bar \A=1/T\int \A(t')dt'$, is examined for linear and in particular for non-linear quantum mechanical…

An exponential Luenberger dynamical observer is proposed to estimate the state of a general class of nonautonomous semilinear parabolic equations. The result can be applied to the case where the output is given by state measurements taken…

We establish new Harnack estimates that defy the waiting-time phenomenon for global solutions to nonlocal parabolic equations. Our technique allows us to consider general nonlocal operators with bounded measurable coefficients. Moreover, we…
We study a class of degenerate parabolic equations with boundary point degeneracy in dimensions N>=2 and investigate the associated boundary observability problem by means of shape design. While one-dimensional degenerate models have been…
A new approach to design of nonlinear observers (state estimators) is proposed. The main idea is to (i) construct a convex set of dynamical systems which are contracting observers for a particular system, and (ii) optimize over this set for…
We present a method for the numerical approximation of distributed optimal control problems constrained by parabolic partial differential equations. We complement the first-order optimality condition by a recently developed space-time…
A property of smooth convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is that if two points on the boundary $x, y \in \partial \Omega$ are close to each other, then their normal vectors $n(x), n(y)$ point roughly in the same direction and this…
The aim of this work is to study the controllability of the Schr\"odinger equation \begin{equation}\label{eq_abstract} i\partial_t u(t)=-\Delta u(t)~~~~~\text{ on }\Omega(t) \tag{$\ast$} \end{equation} with Dirichlet boundary conditions,…
We consider the quantitative uniqueness properties for a parabolic type equation $ u_t-\Delta u = w(x,t) \nabla u + v(x,t) u$, when $v \in L^{p_2}_{t} L^{p_1}_x$ and $w \in L^{q_2}_{t} L^{q_1}_x$, with a suitable range for exponents $p_1$,…
In this paper, we propose a new approach to design globally convergent reduced-order observers for nonlinear control systems via contraction analysis and convex optimization. Despite the fact that contraction is a concept naturally suitable…
