This paper is concerned with a shape optimization problem governed by a non-smooth PDE, i.e., the nonlinearity in the state equation is not necessarily differentiable. We follow the functional variational approach of [40] where the set of…
Classical discrete-time adaptive controllers provide asymptotic stabilization. While the original adaptive controllers did not handle noise or unmodelled dynamics well, redesigned versions were proven to have some tolerance; however,…

A nonlinear control system is said to be weakly contractive in the control if the flow that it generates is non-expanding (in the sense that the distance between two trajectories is a non-increasing function of time) for some fixed…
In this article, we establish necessary and sufficient viability conditions for continuity inclusions over the 1-Wasserstein space. Depending on the regularity properties of the dynamics, we derive two results which are based on fairly…

PI controllers are the most widespread type of controllers and there is an intuitive understanding that if their gains are sufficiently small and of the correct sign, then they always work. In this paper we try to give some rigorous backing…

Solutions of a system of wave equations are constructed for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions at every regularity level. We prove that boundary observability, and thus boundary exact controllability, at some…
