In this paper, we study the exact controllability and stabilization of a system of two wave equations coupled by velocities with an internal, local control acting on only one equation. We distinguish two cases. In the first one, when the…

We prove local Calabi and higher order estimates for solutions to the continuity equation introduced by La Nave-Tian and extended to Hermitian metrics by Sherman-Weinkove. We apply the estimates to show that on a compact complex manifold…
We establish new results concerning the existence of extremisers for a broad class of smoothing estimates of the form $\|\psi(|\nabla|) \exp(it\phi(|\nabla|)f \|_{L^2(w)} \leq C\|f\|_{L^2}$, where the weight $w$ is radial and depends only…

We are concerned with the problem of real analytic regularity of the solutions of sums of squares with real analytic coefficients. Treves conjecture states that an operator of this type is analytic hypoelliptic if and only if all the strata…
Based on a new coupling approach, we prove that the transition step of the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm is contractive w.r.t. a carefully designed Kantorovich (L1 Wasserstein) distance. The lower bound for the contraction rate is…
The Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation is an integrable Camassa-Holm-type model as an asymptotic approximation for the unidirectional propagation of shallow water waves. This work is to establish the $L^2\cap L^\infty$ orbital stability of a…

We consider a controlled Schr\"odinger equation with a dipolar and a polarizability term, used when the dipolar approximation is not valid. The control is the amplitude of the external electric field, it acts non linearly on the state. We…
