In this paper we study controllability of a linear equation with persistent memory when the control belongs to $ H^k_0(0,T;L^2(\ZOMq)) $. In the case the memory is zero, our equation is reduced to the wave equation and a result due to…

A key appeal of the recently proposed Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) framework is that it seems to provide a continuous-time extension of discrete residual neural networks. As we show herein, though, trained Neural ODE models…
