Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N=1,2,3$, be an open bounded and connected set with continuous piecewise $\mathrm{C}^{\infty}$ boundary. Here we deal with almost periodic distributions of the form $u(t,x)=\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty} c_n S_n(x)…

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…

We study the null-controllability of parabolic equations associated to a general class of hypoelliptic quadratic differential operators. Quadratic differential operators are operators defined in the Weyl quantization by complex-valued…

We consider the inverse problem to determine a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary $(M, g)$ from a restriction $\Lambda_{\Src, \Rec}$ of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator for the wave equation on the manifold. Here $\Src$ and…

We consider the wave equation $(\partial_t^2-\Delta)u=0$ on a planar triangular domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use a commutator and integration by parts argument similar to that in…

This paper presents a new observability estimate for parabolic equations in $\Omega\times(0,T)$, where $\Omega$ is a convex domain. The observation region is restricted over a product set of an open nonempty subset of $\Omega$ and a subset…

Multi-time wave functions are wave functions that have a time variable for every particle, such as $\phi(t_1,x_1,\ldots,t_N,x_N)$. They arise as a relativistic analog of the wave functions of quantum mechanics but can be applied also in…

We establish a mixed observability inequality for a class of degenerate hyperbolic equations on the cylindrical domain $\Omega = \mathbb{T} \times (0,1)$ with mixed Neumann Dirichlet boundary conditions. The degeneracy acts only in the…

We are interested in the exact null controllability of the equation $\partial_t f - \partial_x^2 f - x^2 \partial_y^2f = \mathbf 1_\omega u$, with control $u$ supported on $\omega$. We show that, when $\omega$ does not intersect a…

In this thesis we prove that the homogeneous incompressible Euler equation of hydrodynamics on the Sobolev spaces $H^s(\R^n)$, $n \geq 2$ and $s > n/2+1$, can be expressed as a geodesic equation on an infinite dimensional manifold. As an…

We study the null-controllability properties of a one-dimensional wave equation with memory associated with the fractional Laplace operator. The goal is not only to drive the displacement and the velocity to rest at some time-instant but…

The exact distributed controllability of the semilinear wave equation $y_{tt}-y_{xx} + g(y)=f \,1_{\omega}$, assuming that $g$ satisfies the growth condition $\vert g(s)\vert /(\vert s\vert \log^{2}(\vert s\vert))\rightarrow 0$ as $\vert…

The study of low regularity (in-)extendibility of Lorentzian manifolds is motivated by the question whether a given solution to the Einstein equations can be extended (or is maximal) as a weak solution. In this paper we show that a timelike…

Associated to any (pseudo)-Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ is an $n+1$-dimensional noncommutative differential structure $(\Omega^1,\extd)$ on the manifold, with the extra dimension encoding the classical Laplacian as a…

We consider the Schr{\"o}dinger equation in $\mathbf{R}^d$, $d \ge 1$, with a confining potential growing at most quadratically. Our main theorem characterizes open sets from which observability holds, provided they are sufficiently regular…

We study the internal controllability of the semilinear wave equation $$v_{tt}(x,t)-\Delta v(x,t) + f(x,v(x,t))= \Un_{\omega} u(x,t)$$ for some nonlinearities $f$ which can produce several non-trivial steady states. One of the usual…

Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a Riemannian manifold and $\mathcal{N}$ a $\mathcal{C}^2$ submanifold without boundary. If we multiply the metric $g$ by the inverse of the squared distance to $\mathcal{N}$, we obtain a new metric structure on…

For convex co-compact hyperbolic quotients $X=\Gamma\backslash\hh^{n+1}$, we analyze the long-time asymptotic of the solution of the wave equation $u(t)$ with smooth compactly supported initial data $f=(f_0,f_1)$. We show that, if the…
