This paper provides a framework for the control of quantum mechanical systems with scattering states, i.e., systems with continuous spectra. We present the concept and prove a criterion of the approximate strong smooth controllability. Our…
Let $E_1,\dots ,E_k$ and $E$ be natural vector bundles defined over the category $\Cal Mf_m^+$ of smooth oriented $m$--dimensional manifolds and orientation preserving local diffeomorphisms, with $m\geq 2$. Let $M$ be an object of $\Cal…
In this two-part paper, we identify a broad class of decentralized output-feedback LQG systems for which the optimal control strategies have a simple intuitive estimation structure and can be computed efficiently. Roughly, we consider the…
This paper presents a generalization of conventional sliding mode control designs for systems in Euclidean spaces to fully actuated simple mechanical systems whose configuration space is a Lie group for the trajectory-tracking problem. A…
It is known that if a nonlinear control affine system without drift is bracket generating, then its associated sub-Laplacian is invertible under some conditions on the domain. In this note, we investigate the converse. We show how…
The present paper shows that the bounded control set of a linear system on a connected Lie group $G$ contains all the bounded orbits of the system. As a consequence, its closure is the continuous image of the cartesian product of the set of…
We extend the theory of diffeomorphism-invariant spin network states from the real-analytic category to the smooth category. Suppose that G is a compact connected semisimple Lie group and P -> M is a smooth principal G-bundle. A `cylinder…
We study controlability issues for the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the torus $\mathbb T^d$ for system $\dot x=f(x)+u(t)$, where $f$ is a fixed divergence free vector field on $\mathbb T^d$ and $u(t)$ are constant vector…
Positive linear systems on arbitrary time scales are studied. The theory developed in the paper unifies and extends concepts and results known for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for a linear…
In this article we discuss the operations of partitions (sequence of disjoint finite subsets) which are quotient, insertion, composition and Lie bracket. Moreover, we discuss applications of those operations for Feymman diagrams and…
This paper proposes a novel sliding mode control (SMC) method for a class of affine dynamic systems. In this type of systems, the high-frequency gain matrix (HFGM), which is the matrix multiplying the control vector in the dynamic equation…
We study control systems invariant under a Lie group with application to the problem of nonlinear trajectory planning. A theory of symmetry reduction of exterior differential systems is employed to demonstrate how symmetry reduction and…
This paper proposes a new preconditioning scheme for a linear system with a saddle-point structure arising from a hybrid approximation scheme on the sphere, an approximation scheme that combines (local) spherical radial basis functions and…
Given an affine control system $\dot{\mathbf x} = f({\mathbf x}) + \sum_{j=1}^m g_j({\mathbf x}) u_j$ we present an algorithmic process of construction of submanifolds that are invariant under controls assuming that the linear span of $f,…
We study a driftless system on a three-dimensional manifold driven by two scalar controls. We assume that each scalar control has an independent bound on its modulus and we prove that, locally around every point where the controlled vector…
A control system $\dot{q} = f(q,u)$ is said to be trivializable if there exists local coordinates in which the system is feedback equivalent to a control system of the form $\dot{q} = f(u)$. In this paper we characterize trivializable…
We prove that every automorphism of the restricted root system of a real semisimple Lie algebra -- when defined properly -- can be lifted to an automorphism of that Lie algebra. In particular, this can be applied to automorphisms of the…
A generalized polymorphism of a predicate $P \subseteq \{0,1\}^m$ is a tuple of functions $f_1,\dots,f_m\colon \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ satisfying the following property: If $x^{(1)},\dots,x^{(m)} \in \{0,1\}^n$ are such that…
We consider a bilinear control problem for the wave equation on a torus of arbitrary dimension. We show that the system is globally approximately controllable in arbitrarily small times from a dense family of initial states. The control…
We endow the diffeomorphism group of a paracompact (reduced) orbifold with the structure of an infinite dimensional Lie group modelled on the space of compactly supported sections of the tangent orbibundle. For a second countable orbifold,…
