Coupling of chaotic oscillators has evidenced conditions where synchronization is possible, therefore a nonlinear system can be driven to a particular state through input from a similar oscillator. Here we expand this concept of control of…
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…

We consider a class of spin networks where each spin in a certain set interacts, via Ising coupling, with a set of central spins, and the control acts simultaneously on all the spins. This is a common situation for instance in NV centers in…

In this partly expository paper we discuss conditions for the global injectivity of $C^2$ semi-algebraic local diffeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. In case $n > 2$, we consider the foliations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the…

Backward reachability (also termed controllability) has been extensively studied in control theory, and tools for a wide class of systems have been developed. Nevertheless, assessing a backward reachability analysis or synthesis remains…
