In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for local controllability around closed orbits for general smooth control systems. We also prove that any such system on a compact manifold has a closed orbit.
We critically evaluate the most widespread assumption in the theoretical description of coherent control strategies for open quantum systems. We show that, for non-Markovian open systems dynamics, this fixed-dissipator assumption leads to a…

In this article we study how bad can be the singularities of a time-optimal trajectory of a generic control affine system. In the case where the control is scalar and belongs to a closed interval it was recently shown in [6] that…
In this article, we give a condition for the global controllability of affine nonlinear control systems with drifts on Euclidean spaces. Under regularity assumptions, the condition is necessary and sufficient in the codimension-1 and…

The paper deals with controllability problem for a distributed system governed by the two-dimensional Gurtin-Pipkin equation. We consider a system with compactly supported distributed control and show that if the memory kernel is a twice…

This paper examines the controllability for quantum control systems with SU(1,1) dynamical symmetry, namely, the ability to use some electromagnetic field to redirect the quantum system toward a desired evolution. The problem is formalized…
We address an open problem in ensemble control: Whether there exist controllable linear ensemble systems over multi-dimensional parameterization spaces? We provide a negative result: Any real-analytic linear ensemble system is not…
Structural controllability challenges arise from imprecise system modeling and system interconnections in large scale systems. In this paper, we study structural control of bilinear systems on the special Euclidean group. We employ graph…
An overview and synthesis of results and criteria for open-loop controllability of Hamiltonian quantum systems obtained using Lie group and Lie algebra techniques is presented. Negative results for open-loop controllability of dissipative…

Let us consider a linear control system \Sigma on a connected Lie group G. It is known that the accessibility set A from the identity e is in general not a semigroup. In this article we associate a new algebraic object S to \Sigma which…
We study the dynamics of systems on networks from a linear algebraic perspective. The control theoretic concept of controllability describes the set of states that can be reached for these systems. Under appropriate conditions, there is a…
We consider discrete ensembles of linear, scalar control systems with single-inputs. Assuming that all the individual systems are unstable, we investigate whether there exist linear feedback control laws that can asymptotically stabilize…
