Observability is a fundamental structural property of any dynamic system and describes the possibility of reconstructing the state that characterizes the system from observing its inputs and outputs. Despite the huge effort made to study…
The semilinear beam equation with impulses, memory and delay is considered. We obtain the approximate controllability. This is done by employing a technique that avoids fixed point theorems and pulling back the control solution to a fixed…

We continue our study of the linear response of a nonequilibrium system. This Part II concentrates on models of open and driven inertial dynamics but the structure and the interpretation of the result remain unchanged: the response can be…
We consider a system that is exactly controllable. For given initial state, terminal state and objective function, an optimal control is often well-defined. Such an optimal control has the disadvantage that although it works perfectly well…
We consider stochastic control with discretionary stopping for the drift of a diffusion process over an infinite time horizon. The objective is to choose a control process and a stopping time to minimize the expectation of a convex terminal…

Stability enforcement remains a challenge in data-driven control paradigms, where no parametrised model of the system is available. For instance, the system's instabilities can be estimated in order to enforce a closed-loop stability…
The controllability problem for nonlinear control systems with one-dimensional control of the form $ dx/dt=a(x)+B(x)\beta(x,u)$ is considered, where $a(x)$ is an $n$-dimensional vector function, $B(x)$ is an $(n\times m)$-matrix, and…
Induced dynamics is defined as dynamics of real zeros with respect to $x$ of equation $f(q_1-x,\ldots,q_N-x,p_1,\ldots,p_N)=0$, where $f$ is a function, and $q_i$ and $p_j$ are canonical variables obeying some (free) evolution. Identifying…
Many different definitions of computational universality for various types of dynamical systems have flourished since Turing's work. We propose a general definition of universality that applies to arbitrary discrete time symbolic dynamical…
We consider funnel control for linear infinite-dimensional systems that are impedance passive, meaning that they satisfy an energy balance in which the stored energy equals the squared norm of the state and the supplied power is the inner…
The notion of asymptotic unpredictability was recently introduced in (Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simul. 134, 108029, 2024) for semiflows. Likewise unpredictable trajectories, asymptotically unpredictable ones are also capable of…

We consider the (barotropic) Euler system describing the motion of a compressible inviscid fluid driven by a stochastic forcing. Adapting the method of convex integration we show that the initial value problem is ill-posed in the class of…
A notion of time is fundamental in the study of dynamical systems. Time arises as a standalone dynamical system and also in solutions or trajectories as a special kind of map between systems. We characterize time by a universal property and…
