This work addresses control problems governed by a semilinear evolution equation with singular memory kernel $\kappa(t)=\alpha e^{-\beta t}\frac{t^{\nu-1}}{\Gamma(\nu)}$, where $\alpha>0, \beta\ge 0$, and $0<\nu<1$. We examine the existence…

We consider the decidability of state-to-state reachability in linear time-invariant control systems over continuous time. We analyse this problem with respect to the allowable control sets, which are assumed to be the image under a linear…
Most modern control systems are switched, meaning they have continuous as well as discrete decision variables. Switched systems often have constraints called dwell-time constraints (e.g., cycling constraints in a heat pump) on the switching…
Controlling complex networks is of paramount importance in science and engineering. Despite the recent development of structural-controllability theory, we continue to lack a framework to control undirected complex networks, especially…

We are motivated by the problem of control for a non-homogeneous elastic string with memory. We reduce the problem of controllability to a non-standard moment problem. The solution of the latter problem is based on an auxiliary Riesz basis…
We study the boundary control problems for the wave, heat, and Schr\"odinger equations on a finite graph. We suppose that the graph is a tree (i.e., it does not contain cycles), and on each edge an equation is defined. The control is acting…
In this paper, we deal with the boundary controllability of a one-dimensional degenerate and singular wave equation with degeneracy and singularity occurring at the boundary of the spatial domain. Exact boundary controllability is proved in…
