We demonstrate equilibration of isolated many-body systems in the sense that, after initial transients have died out, the system behaves practically indistinguishable from a time-independent steady state, i.e., non-negligible deviations are…
A joint characterisation of the observability and controllability of a particular kind of discrete system has been developed. The key idea of the procedure can be reduced to a correct choice of the sampling sequence. This freedom, owing to…
The quantification of controllability and observability has recently received new interest in the context of large, complex networks of dynamical systems. A fundamental but computationally difficult problem is the placement or selection of…

In this paper we study the stochastic control problem of partially observed (multi-dimensional) stochastic system driven by both Brownian motions and fractional Brownian motions. In the absence of the powerful tool of Girsanov…
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…
