Sufficient and necessary conditions are established for controllability of affine control systems where the control is constrained to a set whose convex hull contains the origin but is not necessarily, in contrast with previously known…
We consider a $n \times n$ nonlinear reaction-diffusion system posed on a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$. This system models reversible chemical reactions. We act on the system through $m$ controls ($1 \leq m < n$),…

Converse optimality theory addresses an optimal control problem conversely where the system is unknown and the value function is chosen. Previous work treated this problem both in continuous and discrete time and non-extensively considered…

It is well known that if a network topology is a path or line and the states of vertices or nodes evolve according to the consensus policy, then the network is Laplacian controllable by an input connected to its terminal vertex. In this…
