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…
We introduce the concept of $\epsilon$-uncontrollability for random linear systems, i.e. linear system in which the usual matrices have been replaced by random matrices. We also estimate the $\epsilon$-uncontrollability in the case where…
In this paper, we investigate the exact controllability properties of an advection-diffusion equation on a bounded domain, using time- and space-dependent velocity fields as the control parameters. This partial differential equation (PDE)…
This short book is the result of various master and summer school courses I have taught. The objective is to introduce the readers to mathematical control theory, both in finite and infinite dimension. In the finite-dimensional context, we…
In this paper we establish several results on approximate controllability of a semilinear wave equation by making use of a single multiplicative control. These results are then applied to discuss the exact controllability properties for the…

The paper is devoted to the problem of global exact controllability for a wide class of neutral and mixed time-delay systems. We consider an equivalent operator model in Hilbert space and formulate steering conditions of controllable states…
This paper deals with strong structural controllability of linear structured systems in which the system matrices are given by zero/nonzero/arbitrary pattern matrices. Instead of assuming that the nonzero and arbitrary entries of the system…
The most basic scenario of quantum control involves the organized manipulation of pure dynamical states of the system by means of unitary transformations. Recently, Vilela Mendes and Mank'o have shown that the conditions for controllability…
We consider systems of parabolic equations coupled in zero order terms in a star-like or a tree-like shape, with an internal control acting in only one of the equations. We obtain local exact controllability to the stationary solutions of…
Quantum theory has the property of "local tomography": the state of any composite system can be reconstructed from the statistics of measurements on the individual components. In this respect the holism of quantum theory is limited. We…
We treat control of several two-level atoms interacting with one mode of the electromagnetic field in a cavity. This provides a useful model to study pertinent aspects of quantum control in infinite dimensions via the emergence of…
Scale invariance and the resulting power law behaviours are seen in diverse systems. In this work we consider translation, rotational and scale invariant systems defined on a lattice, such that the variables defining the state at every…
We consider a terminal control problem for processes governed by a nonlinear system of fractional ODEs. In order to show existence of the control, we first consider the linear counterpart of the system and reprove a number of classical…
We study a system composed of a free quantum particle trapped in a box whose walls can change their position. We prove the global approximate controllability of the system. That is, any initial state can be driven arbitrarily close to any…
We consider ontological models of a quantum system, assuming that not all probability distributions over the space $\Lambda$ of ontic states are preparable, only those belonging to a certain set C. We assume further that every POVM with a…
This paper studies the approximate and null controllability for impulse controlled systems of heat equations coupled by a pair (A,B) of constant matrices. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the approximate controllability,…
We analyze in detail the subtle yet critical differences between the structural controllability and observability of the triplet $(A,B,C)$ in the two cases that this is viewed as a linear dynamical network of interconnected nodes or as a a…

For a large class of random matrices $A$ and vectors $b$, we show that linear systems formed from the pair $(A,b)$ are controllable with high probability. Despite the fact that minimal controllability problems are, in general, NP-hard, we…
