Kalman's fundamental notion of a controllable state space system \cite{k} has been generalised to higher order systems by Willems \cite{w}, and further to distributed systems defined by partial differential equations \cite{ps}. It turns…
We consider controllability for divergence-free systems that have a conserved quantity and satisfy a H\"ormander condition. It is shown that such systems are controllable, provided that the conserved quantity is a proper function. The proof…
For linear control systems with bounded control range, chain controllability properties are analyzed. It is shown that there exists a unique chain control set and that it equals the sum of the control set around the origin and the center…
We introduce a set of local procedures that are capable of controlling distributed systems that exhibit complex dynamical behavior. These local controllers need only perturb local parameters and use local information about the state of the…
Controllability refers to a situation in which a Multi-agent System may be steered from one state to another using specified rules. As a result, there is belief in achieving a given condition by explicit advances. The level of dynamism in…
A quantum mechanical system S is indirectly controlled when the control affects an ancillary system A and the evolution of S is modified through the interaction with A only. A study of indirect controllability gives a description of the set…
A nonlinear control system is said to be weakly contractive in the control if the flow that it generates is non-expanding (in the sense that the distance between two trajectories is a non-increasing function of time) for some fixed…
This paper is devoted to prove the local exact controllability to the trajectories for a coupled system, of the Boussinesq kind, with a reduced number of controls. In the state system, the unknowns are the velocity field and pressure of the…
We consider N independent quantum particles, in an infinite square potential well coupled to an external laser field. These particles are modelled by a system of linear Schr\"odinger equations on a bounded interval. This is a bilinear…
This paper deals with controllability properties of a cubic Ginzburg-Landau equation with dynamic boundary conditions. More precisely, we prove a local null controllability result by using a single control supported in a small subset of the…
Control theory concerns with the question if and how it is possible to drive the behavior of a complex dynamical system. A system is said to be controllable if we can drive it from any initial state to any desired final state in finite…
A bipartite state is said to be steerable if and only if it does not have a single system description, i.e., the bipartite state cannot be explained by a local hidden state model. Several steering inequalities have been derived using…
Using the semigroup approach to abstract boundary control problems we characterize the space of all exactly reachable states. Moreover, we study the situation when the controls of the system are required to be positive. The abstract results…
This paper investigates properties of realizations of linear or group codes on general graphs that lead to local reducibility. Trimness and properness are dual properties of constraint codes. A linear or group realization with a constraint…
We consider a physical system constituted by a finite chain of point masses consecutively linked by linear springs and dashpots. At one of the end points acts an external control force aligned with the chain and the system is observable by…
This paper provides a framework for the control of quantum mechanical systems with scattering states, i.e., systems with continuous spectra. We present the concept and prove a criterion of the approximate strong smooth controllability. Our…
It has recently been shown that the minimum energy solution of the control problem for a linear system produces a control trajectory that is nonlocal. An issue then arises when the dynamics represents a linearization of the underlying…
We show that if a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite group $G$ is nilpotent of class at most $p$, then the $p$-part of the Bogomolov multiplier of $G$ is locally controlled.
We give a criterion that is sufficient for controllability of multipartite quantum systems. We generalize the graph infection criterion to the quantum systems that cannot be described with the use of a graph theory. We introduce the…
This paper is concerned with the local reducibility properties of linear realizations of codes on finite graphs. Trimness and properness are dual properties of constraint codes. A linear realization is locally reducible if any constraint…
