In this paper we investigate a relaxed concept of controllability, known in the literature as herdability, namely the capability of a system to be driven towards the(interior of the) positive orthant. Specifically, we investigate…
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…
We prove the exact controllability of linear KP-I equation if the control input is added on a vertical domain. More generally, we have obtained the least dispersion needed to insure observability for fractional linear KP I equation.
In this paper, we study the concept of approximate controllability of retarded network systems of neutral type. On one hand, we reformulate such systems as free-delay boundary control systems on product spaces. On the other hand, we use the…
We introduce discrete-time linear control systems on connected Lie groups and present an upper bound for the outer invariance entropy of admissible pairs (K,Q). If the stable subgroup of the uncontrolled system is closed and K has positive…

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…
The present paper shows that the bounded control set of a linear system on a connected Lie group $G$ contains all the bounded orbits of the system. As a consequence, its closure is the continuous image of the cartesian product of the set of…
We consider a $n \times n$ nonlinear reaction-diffusion system posed on a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$. This system models reversible chemical reactions. We act on the system through $m$ controls ($1 \leq m < n$),…
In this paper we establish several results on approximate controllability of a semilinear wave equation by making use of a single multiplicative control. These results are then applied to discuss the exact controllability properties for the…
We will study the controllability problem of a bilinear control system on $\mathbb{R}^2:$ the main result is the characterization of the Lie algebra rank condition for the system. On the other hand, using elementary techniques, we recover…

We study the problem of solvability of linear differential systems with small coefficients in the Liouvillian sense (or, by generalized quadratures). For a general system, this problem is equivalent to that of solvability of the Lie algebra…
This paper considers the notion of herdability, a set-based reachability condition, which asks whether the state of a system can be controlled to be element-wise larger than a non-negative threshold. The basic theory of herdable systems is…
