We consider funnel control for linear infinite-dimensional systems that are impedance passive, meaning that they satisfy an energy balance in which the stored energy equals the squared norm of the state and the supplied power is the inner…
In this article we study a class of hyperbolic partial differential equations of order one on the semi-axis. The so-called port-Hamiltonian systems cover for instance the wave equation and the transport equation, but also networks of the…

Output stabilizability of a class of infinite dimensional linear systems is studied in this paper. A criterion for the system to be output stabilizable by a linear bounded feedback $u=Fx$, $F\in L(Z,\mathbb{R}^{^{p}})$ will be given.

This work studies stability and robustness of a nonlinear system given as an interconnection of an ODE and a parabolic PDE subjected to external disturbances entering through the boundary conditions of the parabolic equation. To this end we…
We give extensions of results on nonnegative matrix semigroups which deduce finiteness or boundedness of such semigroups from the corresponding local properties, e.g., from finiteness or boundedness of values of certain linear functionals…

In this paper the theory of robust output regulation of distributed parameter systems with infinite-dimensional exosystems is extended for plants with unbounded control and observation. As the main result, we present the internal model…
Positive systems play an important role in systems and control theory and have found many applications in multi-agent systems, neural networks, systems biology, and more. Positive systems map the nonnegative orthant to itself (and also the…
The notion \emph{Perron-Frobenius theory} usually refers to the interaction between three properties of operator semigroups: positivity, spectrum and long-time behaviour. These interactions gives rise to a profound theory with plenty of…
This paper considers the problem of testing whether there exists a non-negative solution to a possibly under-determined system of linear equations with known coefficients. This hypothesis testing problem arises naturally in a number of…
Similar to the theory of finite Markov chains it is shown that in a Banach space $X$ ordered by a closed cone $K$ with nonempty interior int($K$) a power bounded positive operator $A$ with compact power such that its trajectories for…
We study the dissipativity of linear infinite-dimensional systems with respect to a prescribed quadratic supply rate functional. We characterize this property via an operator inequality that also yields the system's dissipation rate. We…
We study the well posedness of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation with a point interaction and power nonlinearity in dimension two and three. Behind the autonomous interest of the problem, this is a model of the evolution of so…

The objective of the paper is to investigate the approximate controllability property of a linear stochastic control system with values in a separable real Hilbert space. In a first step we prove the existence and uniqueness for the…
