We consider the matrix completion problem with a deterministic pattern of observed entries. In this setting, we aim to answer the question: under what condition there will be (at least locally) unique solution to the matrix completion…
Approximate controllability of the Euler equations is investigated by means of a finite set of actuators. It is proven that approximate controllability holds if we can find a saturating subset of actuators. The notion of saturating set is…
In the paper we consider the infinite horizon control problems on the interval with free right-hand endpoint. We obtain the necessary conditions of strict optimality. The method of the proof actually follows the classic paper by Halkin, and…

We study the controllability of the multidimensional wave equation in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary condition, in which the support of the control is allowed to change over time. The exact controllability is reduced to the proof…
We consider a bilinear optimal control for an evolution equation involving the fractional Laplace operator of order $0<s<1$. We first give some existence and uniqueness results for the considered evolution equation. Next, we establish some…
It has been recently established that a deterministic infinite horizon discounted optimal control problem in discrete time is closely related to a certain infinite dimensional linear programming problem and its dual. In the present paper,…
A finite-horizon optimal estimation problem for discrete-time linear systems is formulated and solved. The formulation is a natural extension of that which yields a deadbeat observer. The resultant observer is the dual of the controller…
This paper is devoted to Riemann-Hilbert problems with constraints. We obtain results characterizing the existence of solutions as well as the dimension of the solution space in terms of certain indices. As an application, we show how such…
Consider that a linear time-invariant (LTI) plant is given and that we wish to design a stabilizing controller for it. Admissible controllers are LTI and must comply with a pre-selected sparsity pattern. The sparsity pattern is assumed to…
The aim of this work is to consider the controllability problem of the linear system associated to Korteweg-de Vries Burgers equation posed in the whole real line. We obtain a sort of exact controllability for solutions in $L^2_{loc}(\R^2)$…
In this work, we focus on separable convex optimization problems with linear and box constraints and compute the solution in closed-form as a function of some Lagrange multipliers that can be easily computed in a finite number of…
We present a general approach to prove existence of solutions for optimal control problems not based on typical convexity conditions which quite often are very hard, if not impossible, to check. By taking advantage of several relaxations of…
We investigate a class of higher-order nonlinear dispersive equations posed on the circle, subject to additive forcing by a finite-dimensional control. Our main objective is to establish approximate controllability by using the…
We study quasi-convex optimization problems, where only a subset of the constraints can be sampled, and yet one would like a probabilistic guarantee on the obtained solution with respect to the initial (unknown) optimization problem. Even…
In this paper we introduce an observer design framework for ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems based on various types of existing or even novel one-parameter symmetries (exact, asymptotic and variational) ending up with a certain…
We derive closed formulas for the condition number of a linear function of the total least squares solution. Given an over determined linear system Ax=b, we show that this condition number can be computed using the singular values and the…
We discuss a universal algebraic approach to quasi-exactly solvable models which allows us to interpret them as constrained Hamiltonian systems with a finite number of physical states. Using this approach we reproduce well-known…
