Complete controllability is a fundamental issue in the field of control of quantum systems, not least because of its implications for dynamical realizability of the kinematical bounds on the optimization of observables. In this paper we…
This paper is the first part of our series work to establish pointwise second-order necessary conditions for stochastic optimal controls. In this part, both drift and diffusion terms may contain the control variable but the control region…
We study wave maps from the circle to a general compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that the global controllability of this geometric equation is characterized precisely by the homotopy class of the data. As a remarkable intermediate…
We consider closed symplectically aspherical manifolds, i.e. closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ satisfying the condition $[\omega]|_{\pi_2M}=0$. Rudyak and Oprea [RO] remarked that such manifolds have nice and controllable homotopy…
We prove the existence of closed stable orbits in a strongly coupled Wilberforce pendulum, for the case of a $1:2$ resonance, by using techniques of geometric singular symplectic reduction combined with the more classical averaging method…
We study the controllability of a closed control-affine quantum system driven by two or more external fields. We provide a sufficient condition for controllability in terms of existence of conical intersections between eigenvalues of the…
We present sufficient conditions for the existence of forced oscillations in non-autonomous mechanical systems. Previously, similar results were obtained for systems with friction. Presented results hold both for systems with and without…
In this work, we present some easily verifiable sufficient conditions that guarantee the controllability of wave equations with non-constant coefficients. These conditions work as complements for those obtained by Peng-fei Yao in SIAM J.…
We treat the periodic trajectory tracking problem: given a periodic trajectory of a control-affine, left-invariant driftless system in a compact and connected Lie group $G$ and an initial condition in $G$, find another trajectory of the…
In this paper, we analyze the chain control sets of linear control systems on connected Lie groups. Our main result shows that the compactness of the central subgroup associated with the drift is a necessary and sufficient condition to…
Curt McMullen showed that every compact orbit for the action of the diagonal group on the space of lattices contains a well-rounded lattice. We extend this to all closed orbits.
We address the problem of controllability of the MHD system in a rectangular domain with a control prescribed on the side boundary. We identify a necessary and sufficient condition on the data to be null controllable, i.e., can be driven to…
We investigate the control resources needed to effect arbitrary quantum dynamics. We show that the ability to perform measurements on a quantum system, combined with the ability to feed back the measurement results via coherent control,…
We discuss smooth nonlinear control systems with symmetry. For a free and proper action of the symmetry group, the reduction of symmetry gives rise to a reduced smooth nonlinear control system. If the action of the symmetry group is only…
We give a constructive proof of a global controllability result for an autonomous system of ODEs guided by bounded locally Lipschitz and divergence free (i.e.\ incompressible) vector field, when the phase space is the whole Euclidean space…
We prove the exact controllability result to trajectories of a simplified model of motion of a rigid body in fluid flow. Unlike a previously know results such a trajectory does not need to be a stationary solution.
We provide a constructive method designed in order to control the stability of a given periodic orbit of a general completely integrable system. The method consists of a specific type of perturbation, such that the resulting perturbed…
We prove exact controllability for quasi-linear Hamiltonian Schr\"odinger equations on tori of dimension greater or equal then two. The result holds true for sufficiently small initial conditions satisfying natural minimal regularity…
In this paper we prove an approximate controllability result for the bilinear Schr\"odinger equation. This result requires less restrictive non-resonance hypotheses on the spectrum of the uncontrolled Schr\"odinger operator than those…
In this paper, we first introduce the concept of symmetrical symplectic capacity for symmetrical symplectic manifolds, and by using this symmetrical symplectic capacity theory we prove that there exists at least one symmetric closed…
