Reachable set computation is an important tool for analyzing control systems. Simulating a control system can show general trends, but a formal tool like reachability analysis can provide guarantees of correctness. Reachability analysis for…
This paper deals with some reachability issues for piecewise linear switched systems with time-dependent coefficients and multiplicative noise. Namely, it aims at characterizing data that are almost reachable at some fixed time T > 0…
Previous work showed that the collective activity of large neuronal networks can be tamed to remain near its critical point by a feedback control that maximizes the temporal correlations of the mean-field fluctuations. Since such…
Just as an explicit parameterisation of system dynamics by state, i.e., a choice of coordinates, can impede the identification of general structure, so it is too with an explicit parameterisation of system dynamics by control. However, such…
This paper is devoted to prove the local exact controllability to the trajectories for a coupled system, of the Boussinesq kind, with a reduced number of controls. In the state system, the unknowns are the velocity field and pressure of the…
In this article we study the minimal time for the exact controllability of one-dimensional first-order linear hyperbolic systems when all the controls are acting on the same side of the boundary. We establish an explicit and easy-to-compute…
We consider a quantum particle in a potential V (x) (x in R^N) subject to a (spatially homogeneous) time-dependent electric field E(t), which plays the role of the control. Under generic assumptions on V, this system is approximately…

This paper completely solves the controllability problems of two-dimensional multi-input discrete-time bilinear systems with and without drift. Necessary and sufficient conditions for controllability, which cover the existing results, are…
In this paper, we study some controllability and observability properties for a coupled system of time-discrete fourth- and second-order parabolic equations. This system can be regarded as a simplification of the well-known stabilized…
This paper deals with the distributed and boundary controllability of the so called Leray-$\alpha$ model. This is a regularized variant of the Navier-Stokes system ($\alpha$ is a small positive parameter) that can also be viewed as a model…
We consider a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate in a infinite square-well (box) potential. This is a nonlinear control system in which the state is the wave function of the Bose Einstein condensate and the control is the length of…
This paper considers the problem of controlling a piecewise continuously differentiable system subject to time-varying uncertainties. The uncertainties are decomposed into a time-invariant, linearly-parameterized portion and a time-varying…
This work proposes a decision-making framework for partially observable systems in continuous time with discrete state and action spaces. As optimal decision-making becomes intractable for large state spaces we employ approximation methods…
In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of a linear control system on $\R^2$ when the associated matrix has real eigenvalues. Different from the complex case, we show that the position of the control zero relative to the control…
For linear infinite systems the approximate controllability problem by control constraints is considered. Controllability conditions represented via system parameters are obtained. Partial differential control systems and control systems…
We prove a generalization of Noether's theorem for optimal control problems defined on time scales. Particularly, our results can be used for discrete-time, quantum, and continuous-time optimal control problems. The generalization involves…
