We consider the one-dimensional degenerate parabolic equation $$ u_t - (x^\alpha u_x)_x =0 \qquad x\in(0,1),\ t \in (0,T) ,$$ controlled by a boundary force acting at the degeneracy point $x=0$. First we study the reachable targets at some…
We consider a class of evolution equations describing population dynamics in the presence of a carrying capacity depending on the population with delay. In an earlier work, we presented an exhaustive classification of the logistic equation…
The degeneracy of central configurations in the planar $N$-body problem makes their enumeration problem hard and the related dynamics appealing. To truly understand the bifurcations of central configurations, we should work in the FULL…
This paper considers a semi-discrete forward stochastic parabolic operator with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions in arbitrary dimensions. We show the lack of null controllability for a spatial semi-discretization of a null-controllable…
An important question to be addressed regarding system control on a time interval $[0, T]$ is whether some particular target state in the configuration space is reachable from a given initial state. When the target of interest refers only…
Aging associated brain decline often result in some kind of dementia. Even when this is a complex brain disorder a physical model can be used in order to describe its general behavior. This model is based in first principles. A…
We investigate a new model for populations evolving in a spatial continuum. This model can be thought of as a spatial version of the Lambda-Fleming-Viot process. It explicitly incorporates both small scale reproduction events and large…
Controllability, one of the fundamental concepts in control theory, consists in guiding a system from an initial state to a desired one within a limited (and possibly minimum) time interval. When the objective is limited to a specific…
In this paper, we study the null controllability of the three-dimensional Stokes equations with a memory term. For any positive final time $T>0$, we construct initial conditions such that the null controllability does not hold even if the…
