We study experimentally a system comprised of linear chains of spin-1/2 nuclei that provides a test-bed for multi-body dynamics and quantum information processing. This system is a paradigm for a new class of quantum information devices…
The hyperbolic plane admits a quasi-isometric embedding into a hyperbolic group if and only if the group is not virtually free.
Trajectory tracking for the kinematic unicycle has been heavily studied for several decades. The unicycle admits a natural $\SE(2)$ symmetry, a key structure exploited in many of the most successful nonlinear controllers in the literature.…
This paper gives an overview of the control of distributed-parameter systems using normal forms. Considering linear controllable PDE-ODE systems of hyperbolic type, two methods derive tracking controllers by mapping the system into a form…
In this paper, we put the issue of dynamic equivalence of control systems in the context of pullbacks of coframings on infinite jet bundles over the state manifolds. While much attention has been given to differentially flat systems, i.e.…
Let G be a group which is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups A, and it is also hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups B. Suppose that the collection A contains B. We characterize, for subgroups of G, when…
Sufficient and necessary conditions are established for controllability of affine control systems where the control is constrained to a set whose convex hull contains the origin but is not necessarily, in contrast with previously known…
The paper presents an approach to flatness-based control design for hyperbolic multi-input systems, building upon the hyperbolic controller form (HCF). The transformation into HCF yields a simplified system representation that considerably…
In this paper, we develop a method for computing controlled invariant sets using Semidefinite Programming. We apply our method to the controller design problem for switching affine systems with polytopic safe sets. The task is reduced to a…
This paper contains an analysis of rank-k solutions in terms of Riemann invariants, obtained from interrelations between two concepts, that of the symmetry reduction method and of the generalized method of characteristics for first order…
The kinematics of a robot manipulator are described in terms of the mapping connecting its joint space and the 6-dimensional Euclidean group of motions $SE(3)$. The associated Jacobian matrices map into its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{se}(3)$,…
We consider the geodesic flow on a complete connected negatively curved manifold. We show that the set of invariant borel probability measures contains a dense $G_\delta$-subset consisting of ergodic measures fully supported on the…
Controllability properties are studied for control-affine systems depending on a parameter and with constrained control values. The uncontrolled systems in dimension two and three are subject to a homoclinic bifurcation. This generates two…
This paper is devoted to the study of controllability of linear systems on generalized Heisenberg groups. Some general necessary controllability conditions and some sufficient ones are provided. We introduce the notion of decoupled systems,…
We report an instability exhibited by a fluid system when coupling two distinct types of waves, both linearly damped. While none of them is unstable on its own, they amplify one another, resulting in a previously unreported convective…
Consider the iteration of an invertible matrix on the projective space: are the Morse components normally hyperbolic? As far as we know, this was only stablished when the matrix is diagonalizable over the complex numbers. In this article we…
We have solved completely the problem of the description of quasi-linear hyperbolic differential equations in two independent variables that are invariant under three-parameter Lie groups.
Normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds theory provides an efficient tool for proving diffusion in dynamical systems. In this paper we develop a methodology for computer assisted proofs of diffusion in a-priori chaotic systems based on this…
Research on stabilization of coupled hyperbolic PDEs has been dominated by the focus on pairs of counter-convecting ("heterodirectional") transport PDEs with distributed local coupling and with controls at one or both boundaries. A recent…
We study the crossing symmetry of the ensemble of large-$c$ 2D CFTs defined through 3D gravity. A central observation is that statistical moments of OPE coefficients are not independent; rather, lower and higher moments are strongly…
