A continuum theory of partially fluidized granular flows is developed. The theory is based on a combination of the equations for the flow velocity and shear stresses coupled with the order parameter equation which describes the transition…
This is a brief introduction to control theory in finite-dimensional spaces. The material is partly based on my lectures for the Master 1 program in Math\'ematiques et applications at Sorbonne University, delivered over the past few years.…
A proof of Sharkovsky's Theorem is given. It is shown how this proof naturally generalizes to looking at maps on graphs and to Sharkovsky-type theorems for these maps. The paper is written at an elementary level and is meant as an…
In this paper, we investigate the controllability of a class of formation control systems. Given a directed graph, we assign an agent to each of its vertices and let the edges of the graph describe the information flow in the system. We…
We show an example providing a significance in geometric control theory of the existence of the dependence locus of a system of vector fields in particular, the generic appearance of non-trivial singular trajectories embedded in the…
We examine classical, transient fluctuation theorems within the unifying framework of Langevin dynamics. We explicitly distinguish between the effects of non-conservative forces that violate detailed balance, and non-autonomous dynamics…
A classical result in Differential Geometry states that the flows of two smooth vector fields commute if and only if their Lie Bracket vanishes. In this work, we extend this result to a more general setting where one of the vector fields is…
Motivated by the controllability/reachability problems for switched linear control systems and some classes of nonlinear (mechanical) control systems we address a related problem of existence of a cyclic vector for an associative (matrix)…
The usable limits of the customary and relaxational filtrational theories are considered. The questions of applicable the locality and local thermodynamical equilibrium principles to depict the nonstationary flows are discussed. The…
We present a new general method to construct an action functional for a non-potential field theory. The key idea relies on representing the governing equations of the theory relative to a diffeomorphic flow of curvilinear coordinates which…
The Koopman operator, originally defined for dynamical systems without input, has inspired many applications in control. Yet, the theoretical foundations underpinning this progress in control remain underdeveloped. This paper investigates…
The controllability property of the unitary propagator of an N-level quantum mechanical system subject to a single control field is described using the structure theory of semisimple Lie algebras. Sufficient conditions are provided for the…
We obtain Kupka-Smale theorem and Franks lemma for magnetic flows on manifolds with any dimension. This improves Miranda result on surfaces. However our methods relies on geometric control theory, like in Rifford and Ruggiero articles.
The field-dependent equilibrium thermodynamics is derived with two methods: either by using the potential formalism either by the statistical method. Therefore, Pontrjagin's extremum principle of control theory is applied to an extended…
This paper deals with the control of a kind of turbulent flows. We consider a simplified k-e model with distributed controls, locally supported in space. We proof that the system is partially locally null-controllable, in the sense that the…
The theory of Gaussian quantum fluctuations around classical steady states in nonlinear quantum-optical systems (also known as standard linearization) is a cornerstone for the analysis of such systems. Its simplicity, together with its…
Normalizing Flows are generative models which produce tractable distributions where both sampling and density evaluation can be efficient and exact. The goal of this survey article is to give a coherent and comprehensive review of the…
A closure theory is developed for inhomogeneous turbulent flow, which enables a systematic derivation of the turbulence constitutive relations without relying on any empirical parameters. Renormalized-perturbation approximation is performed…
Invariance theorems in analytical mechanics, such as Noether's theorem, can be adapted to continuum mechanics. For this purpose, it is useful to give a functional representation of the motion and to interpret the groups of invariance with…
It has been recently shown that the Bellman function method can be applied in the general context of Gundy's extrapolation theorem for vector-valued martingales. But the additional assumption has been made that martingales are adapted to a…
