This paper is devoted to the observability of a class of two-dimensional Kolmogorov-type equations presenting a quadratic degeneracy. We give lower and upper bounds for the critical time. These bounds coincide in symmetric settings, giving…
We address the inverse problem of recovering a degeneracy point within the diffusion coefficient of a one-dimensional complex parabolic equation by observing the normal derivative at one point of the boundary. The strongly degenerate case…
The question of controllability is investigated for a quantum control system in which the Hamiltonian operator components carry explicit time dependence which is not under the control of an external agent. We consider the general situation…
We study in detail a recently proposed simple discrete model for evolution on smooth landscapes. An asymptotic solution of this model for long times is constructed. We find that the dynamics of the population are governed by correlation…
In this paper we study the boundary controllability of the Gear-Grimshaw system posed on a finite domain $(0,L)$, with Neumann boundary conditions: \begin{equation} \label{abs} \begin{cases} u_t + uu_x+u_{xxx} + a v_{xxx} + a_1vv_x+a_2…
The idea of controlling the dynamics of spatially extended systems using a small number of localized perturbations is very appealing - such a setup is easy to implement in practice. However, when the distance between controllers generating…
The main purpose of this work is the mathematical modelling of large populations of cells under different deterministic interactions among themselves, in balance with naturally random diffusion. We focus on cell-cell adhesion mechanisms for…
In this paper we consider the controllability of certain class of non-autonomous neutral evolution stochastic functional differential equations, with time varying delays, driven by a fractional Brownian motion in a separable real Hilbert…
The population size has far-reaching effects on the fitness of the population, that, in its turn influences the population extinction or persistence. Understanding the density- and age-dependent factors will facilitate more accurate…
The paper is concerned with mechanical systems which are controlled by implementing a number of time-dependent, frictionless holonomic constraints. The main novelty is due to the presence of additional non-holonomic constraints. We develop…
The concept of random deaths in a computational model for population dynamics is critically examined. We claim that it is just an artifact, albeit useful, of computational models to limit the size of the populations and has no biological…
We survey recent results on the control problem for the heat equation on unbounded and large bounded domains. First we formulate new uncertainty relations, respectively spectral inequalities. Then we present an abstract control cost…
In the present work we deal with the existence of solutions for optimal control problems associated to transport equations. The behaviour of a population of individuals will be influenced by the presence of a population of control agents…
We study the exact null controllability of a class of non-autonomous conformable fractional semi-linear evolution systems with nonlocal initial conditions in Hilbert spaces. The analysis is carried out within the framework of conformable…
We consider the null-controllability problem for the generalized Baouendi-Grushin equation $(\partial_t - \partial_x^2 - q(x)^2\partial_y^2)f = 1_\omega u$ on a rectangular domain. Sharp controllability results already exist when the…
In this paper, we establish the existence of solutions for a particular class of degenerate hyperbolic equations. Following this, we approximate these degenerate equations by employing a sequence of uniformly hyperbolic equations. Notably,…
The admissible positional control problem for the canonical system with geometrical restrictions on the control is considered. The investigation is performed with the help of the controllability function method. We obtain controllability…
We discuss a problem of Arnold, whether every function is stably equivalent to one which is non-degenerate for its Newton diagram. We argue that the answer is negative. We describe a method to make functions non-degenerate after…
Models of many-species ecosystems, such as the Lotka-Volterra and replicator equations, suggest that these systems generically exhibit near-extinction processes, where population sizes go very close to zero for some time before rebounding,…
I present a simple numerical model based on iteratively updating subgroups of a population, individually modeled by nonnegative real numbers, by a constant decay factor; however, at each iteration, one group is selected to instead be…
