For linear control systems with bounded control range, chain controllability properties are analyzed. It is shown that there exists a unique chain control set and that it equals the sum of the control set around the origin and the center…

In this paper, we study a natural optimal control problem associated to the Paneitz obstacle problem on closed 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. We show the existence of an optimal control which is an optimal state and induces also a…

We show that smoothness implies norm-controlled inversion: the smoothness of an element $a$ in a Banach algebra with a one-parameter automorphism group is preserved under inversion, and the norm of the inverse $a^{-1}$ is controlled by the…

We revisit the work of Roger Brockett on controllability of the Liouville equation, with a particular focus on the following problem: Given a smooth controlled dynamical system of the form $\dot{x} = f(x,u)$ and a state-space diffeomorphism…

Manifold optimization is ubiquitous in computational and applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, machine learning, physics, chemistry and etc. One of the main challenges usually is the non-convexity of the manifold constraints. By…

We analyze the dynamical-algebraic approach to universal quantum control introduced in P. Zanardi, S. Lloyd, quant-ph/0305013. The quantum state-space $\cal H$ encoding information decomposes into irreducible sectors and subsystems…
