In this paper, motivated by the study of optimal control problems for infinite dimensional systems with endpoint state constraints, we introduce the notion of finite codimensional (exact/approximate) controllability. Some equivalent…
We investigate local and metric geometry of weighted Carnot-Carath\'eodory spaces which are a wide generalization of sub-Riemannian manifolds and arise in nonlinear control theory, subelliptic equations etc. For such spaces the intrinsic…
We define a class of spaces on which one may generalise the notion of compactness following motivating examples from higher-dimensional number theory. We establish analogues of several well-known topological results (such as Tychonoff's…
The local and global control results for a general higher-order KdV-type operator posed on the unit circle are presented. Using spectral analysis, we are able to prove local results, that is, the equation is locally controllable and…
Non-convex optimal control problems occurring in, e.g., water or power systems, typically involve a large number of variables related through nonlinear equality constraints. The ideal goal is to find a globally optimal solution, and…
A version of group cohomology for locally compact groups and Polish modules has previously been developed using a bar resolution restricted to measurable cochains. That theory was shown to enjoy analogs of most of the standard algebraic…
Some results of B. Pasynkov and H. Torunczyk on finite-dimensional maps are improved. A generalization of a Dranishnikov-Uspenskij theorem about extensional dimension is also obtained.
In quantum control theory, the fundamental issue of controllability covers the questions whether and under which conditions a system can be steered from one pure state into another by suitably tuned time evolution operators. Even though Lie…
In this paper, we establish a general stochastic maximum principle for optimal control for systems described by a continuous-time Markov regime-switching stochastic recursive utilities model. The control domain is postulated not to be…
The recent paper by W.-X. Wang, Y.-C. Lai, J. Ren, B. Li & C. Grebogi [arXiv:1107.2177v1] proposed a method for the control of complex networks with nonlinear dynamics based on linearizing the system around a finite number of local desired…
Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…
We are interested in global properties of systems of left-invariant differential operators on compact Lie groups: regularity properties, properties on the closedness of the range and finite dimensionality of their cohomology spaces, when…
This is a chapter (planned to appear in Wiley's upcoming Encyclopedia of Operations Research and Management Science) describing parts of the theory of convex polyhedra that are particularly important for optimization. The topics include…
Compact hyperkaehler manifolds are higher-dimensional generalizations of K3 surfaces. The classical Global Torelli theorem for K3 surfaces, however, does not hold in higher dimensions. More precisely, a compact hyperkaehler manifold is in…
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…
This is essentially a survey paper in which we solve the global Cauchy problem on causal manifolds for hyperbolic systems of linear partial differential equations in the framework of hyperfunctions. Besides the classical Cauchy-Kowalevsky…
We establish the approximate controllability in $L^2$ for the nonlinear Benjamin-Ono equation on torus via two-dimensional control input. Our proof is based on adaptations of geometric control approach introduced by Agrachev and Sarychev.…
We consider general integrable curve nets in Euclidean space as a particular integrable geometry invariant with respect to rigid motions and net-preserving reparameterisations. For the purpose of their description, we first give an overview…
The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…
In this article, we give a completely constructive proof of the observability/controllability of the wave equation on a compact manifold under optimal geometric conditions. This contrasts with the original proof of Bardos-Lebeau-Rauch,…
