The problem we consider in this work is to minimize the L^q-norm (q > 2) of the semidiscrete controls. As shown in [LT06], under the main approximation assumptions that the discretized semigroup is uniformly analytic and that the degree of…

In this paper, we prove the null controllability of some parabolic-elliptic systems. The control is distributed, locally supported in space and appears only in one PDE. The arguments rely on fixed-point reformulation and suitable Carleman…
In this paper we introduce a new dynamical condition, the comb geometric control condition, which is sufficient for observability of the Schr\"odinger equation in Euclidean space. We provide examples which show this condition is strictly…
We revisit the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process as the fundamental mathematical description of linear irreversible phenomena, with fluctuations, near an equilibrium. By identifying the underlying circulating dynamics in a stationary process…

It is by now well known that the use of Carleman estimates allows to establish the control-lability to trajectories of nonlinear parabolic equations. However, by this approach, it is not clear how to decide whether a given function is…
