We address an open problem in ensemble control: Whether there exist controllable linear ensemble systems over multi-dimensional parameterization spaces? We provide a negative result: Any real-analytic linear ensemble system is not…
A fundamental concept in control theory is that of controllability, where any system state can be reached through an appropriate choice of control inputs. Indeed, a large body of classical and modern approaches are designed for controllable…

In quantum control theory, the fundamental issue of controllability covers the questions whether and under which conditions a system can be steered from one pure state into another by suitably tuned time evolution operators. Even though Lie…
In this paper we introduce the concept of universal stabilizability: the condition that every solution of a nonlinear system can be globally stabilized. We give sufficient conditions in terms of the existence of a control contraction…
Determining the distance between a controllable system to the set of uncontrollable systems, namely, the controllability radius problem, has been extensively studied in the past. However, the opposite direction, that is, determining the…
Various controllability conditions have been obtained by researchers for heterogeneous networked systems with linear dynamics. However, the literature for nonlinear, heterogeneous networked systems is comparatively less. In this paper we…
We analyze in detail the subtle yet critical differences between the structural controllability and observability of the triplet $(A,B,C)$ in the two cases that this is viewed as a linear dynamical network of interconnected nodes or as a a…
We show that a perturbation of any fixed square matrix D by a random unitary matrix is well invertible with high probability. A similar result holds for perturbations by random orthogonal matrices; the only notable exception is when D is…
A new proof is given for the mathematical equivalence among three $k$-sparse controllability problems of a networked system, which plays key roles in Olshevsky,2014, in the establishment of the NP-hardness of the associated minimal…
Approximate controllability of the Euler equations is investigated by means of a finite set of actuators. It is proven that approximate controllability holds if we can find a saturating subset of actuators. The notion of saturating set is…
We present a very general chaining method which allows one to control the supremum of the empirical process $\sup_{h \in H} |N^{-1}\sum_{i=1}^N h^2(X_i)-\E h^2|$ in rather general situations. We use this method to establish two main…
We study the singularity probability of random integer matrices. Concretely, the probability that a random $n \times n$ matrix, with integer entries chosen uniformly from $\{-m,\ldots,m\}$, is singular. This problem has been well studied in…

In this paper, we define four different notions of controllability of physical interest for multilevel quantum mechanical systems. These notions involve the possibility of driving the evolution operator as well as the state of the system.…
We describe a particular control method for a system controlled by several actuators with the same control constants. We show under certain assumptions that the control constants for the whole system can be obtained immediately from the…
Random projection is often used to project higher-dimensional vectors onto a lower-dimensional space, while approximately preserving their pairwise distances. It has emerged as a powerful tool in various data processing tasks and has…
