This paper studies (single-time and multitime) optimal control problems on a nonholonomic manifold (described either by the kernel of a Gibbs-Pfaff form or by the span of appropriate vector fields). For both descriptions we analyse:…
The paper puts forward sufficient conditions for local controllability of a control dynamical system. The results obtained are meaningful in the case when the linear approximation to this system is not completely controllable. As a…
We obtain a probabilistic solution to linear-quadratic optimal control problems with state constraints. Given a closed set $\mathcal{D}\subseteq [0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^d$, a diffusion $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ must be linearly controlled in…
We consider space-time tracking type distributed optimal control problems for the wave equation in the space-time domain $Q:= \Omega \times (0,T) \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$, where the control is assumed to be in the energy space…
Let $\mathcal X$ be an infinite locally compact separable metric space with metric $\rho$ and let $f : \mathcal X \longrightarrow \mathcal X$ be a continuous weakly mixing map. Let $\beta = \sup \big\{ \rho(x, y): \{x, y \} \subset \mathcal…
In our model a fixed Hamiltonian acts on the joint Hilbert space of a quantum system and its controller. We show under which conditions measurements, state preparations, and unitary implementations on the system can be performed by quantum…

Controllability properties are studied for control-affine systems depending on a parameter and with constrained control values. The uncontrolled systems in dimension two and three are subject to a homoclinic bifurcation. This generates two…
