For abstract linear systems in Hilbert spaces we revisit the problems of exact controllability and complete stabilizability (stabilizability with an arbitrary decay rate), the latter property is equivalent to exact null controllability. We…
A joint characterisation of the controllability and observability 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…
An optimal control of a steady state thermistor problem is considered, where the convective boundary coefficient is taken as the control variable. A distinctive feature of this paper is that the problem is considered in arbitrary…

We consider a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation on a bounded domain with a left Dirichlet boundary control.The controllability to the trajectories of such a system was proved in the last decade by using Carleman estimates.Here, we go a step…
In this paper we explore several novel notions of exact controllability for mean-field linear controlled stochastic differential equations (SDEs). A key feature of our study is that the noise coefficient is not required to be of full rank.…
Controlling the topology of structures self-assembled from a set of heterogeneous building blocks is highly desirable for many applications, but is poorly understood theoretically. Here we show that the thermodynamic theory of self-assembly…
Liesegang patterns emerge from precipitation processes and may be used to build bulk structures at submicron lengthscales. Thus they have significant potential for technological applications provided adequate methods of control can be…

In [15] we proposed a set of sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of a discrete-spectrum bilinear Schr\"odinger equation. These conditions are expressed in terms of the controlled potential and of the eigenpairs of the…
Let $\Delta$ be the Dirichlet Laplacian on the interval $(0,\pi)$. The null controllability properties of the equation $$u_{tt}+\Delta^2 u+\rho (\Delta)^\alpha u_t=F(x,t)$$ are studied. Let $T>0$, and assume initial conditions $(u^0,u^1)\in…
Let $(M^n,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional compact connected Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We show that the presence of a nontrivial conformal gradient vector field on $M$, with an appropriate control on the Ricci curvature makes $M$…

Controllability scores provide control-theoretic centrality measures that quantify the relative importance of state nodes in networked dynamical systems. We establish a structural connection between finite-time controllability scoring and…
A uniqueness theorem is established for autonomous systems of ODEs, $\dot{x}=f(x)$, where $f$ is a Sobolev vector field with additional geometric structure, such as delta-monoticity or reduced quasiconformality. Specifically, through every…
