It is an ever-growing challenge to develop nano-devices for controlling energy transport. An open question is whether we can create and control heat current at {\it strict zero thermal bias}, and if yes, how to do it. In this paper, we…

In this note we study the control problem for the heat equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$, with control set $\omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition (called $(\gamma, a)$-\emph{thickness}) on $\omega$…
The null controllability of the heat equation is known for decades [19,23,30]. The finite time stabilizability of the one dimensional heat equation was proved by Coron--Nguy\^en [13], while the same question for high dimensional spaces…
There are hundreds of papers dealing with the Black-Scholes equation. Yet, no one seems to have ever used the scaling invariance coming from the heat equation. And there appears to be very few studies on the "control aspect" of the…
