Almost sure asymptotic stabilization of a discrete-time switched stochastic system is investigated. Information on the active operation mode of the switched system is assumed to be available for control purposes only at random time…
The classical one-phase Stefan problem (without surface tension) allows for a continuum of steady state solutions, given by an arbitrary (but sufficiently smooth) domain together with zero temperature. We prove global-in-time stability of…

We study the regularity of the bounded self-similar solution to the one-phase Stefan problem with fractional diffusion posed on the whole line. In terms of the enthalpy $h(x,t)$, the evolution problem reads \[ \begin{cases} \partial_t h +…
Sampling arises simultaneously with input and output delays in networked control systems. When the delay is left uncompensated, the sampling period is generally required to be sufficiently small, the delay sufficiently short, and, for…
