We describe how to control the motion -- both speed and propagation direction -- of a nonlinear traveling wave in real time via soliton management with time-varying dispersion/diffusion and loss/gain terms. When carried out subject to…
On a Riemannian manifold with or without boundary, and whether bounded or unbounded, we consider a semilinear wave (or Klein-Gordon) equation with a subcritical nonlinearity (either defocusing or focusing). We establish local…
This the text of a proceeding accepted for the 21st International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS 2014). We present some results of an ongoing research on the controllability problem of an abstract bilinear…
We prove approximate controllability of the bilinear Schr\"odinger equation in the case in which the uncontrolled Hamiltonian has discrete non-resonant spectrum. The results that are obtained apply both to bounded or unbounded domains and…
In this article, we study the local exact controllability to a constant trajectory for a compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg system on the torus in dimension $ d\in\{1,2,3\}$ when the control acts on an open subset. To be more precise, we…
We consider a system of an arbitrary number of \textsc{1d} linear Schr\"odinger equations on a bounded interval with bilinear control. We prove global exact controllability in large time of these $N$ equations with a single control. This…
We study the dynamics of solitons as solutions to the perturbed KdV (pKdV) equation $\partial_t u = -\partial_x (\partial_x^2 u + 3u^2-bu)$, where $b(x,t) = b_0(hx,ht)$, $h\ll 1$ is a slowly varying, but not small, potential. We option an…
We consider in this paper the problem of the Lagrangian controllability for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Using the $N$-solitons solution, we prove that, for any length of the spatial domain $L>0$ and any time $T>0$, it is possible to…
We consider the 1D linear Schr{\"o}dinger equation, on a bounded interval, with Dirichlet boundary conditions and bilinear scalar control. The small-time local exact controllability around the ground state was proved in [BeaLau10], under an…
The existence of ``dispersion-managed solitons'', i.e., stable pulsating solitary-wave solutions to the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with periodically modulated and sign-variable dispersion is now well known in nonlinear optics. Our…
All solutions of the Korteweg -- de Vries equation that are bounded on the real line are physically relevant, depending on the application area of interest. Usually, both analytical and numerical approaches consider solution profiles that…
This paper deals with the null-controllability of a system of {\em mixed parabolic-elliptic pdes} at any given time $T>0$. More precisely, we consider the \textit{Kuramoto-Sivashinsky--Korteweg-de Vries equation} coupled with a second order…
We consider two types of the generalized Korteweg - de Vries equation, where the nonlinearity is given with or without absolute values, and, in particular, including the low powers of nonlinearity, an example of which is the Schamel…
In this paper, we take advantage of the bilinearization reduction method to consider the local and nonlocal reduction of a discrete Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur equation. Exact solutions in double Casoratian form to the reduced nonlocal…
This paper is concerned with the null controllability problem for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations under multiplicative control, locally supported in space. For the purpose of proving the existence of a multiplicative control…
