In this article, we prove a local controllability result for a general class of 1D partial differential equations on the interval $(0,1)$. The PDEs we consider take the form $\partial_t^N y=\zeta_M \partial_{x}^{M}y+f(x , y , \partial_{x}…

We study the solvability of boundary-value problems for differential-operator equations of the second order in L p (0, 1; X), with 1 < p < +$\infty$, X being a UMD complex Banach space. The originality of this work lies in the fact that we…

We investigate the convergence of an application of a proximal gradient method to control problems with nonsmooth and nonconvex control cost. Here, we focus on control cost functionals that promote sparsity, which includes functionals of…

Given a linear closed but not necessarily densely defined operator $A$ on a Banach space $E$ with nonempty resolvent set and a multivalued map $F\colon I\times E\map E$ with weakly sequentially closed graph, we consider the…

In this article, we completely describe the control sets of one-input linear control systems on solvable, nonnilpotent 3D Lie groups. We show that, if the restriction of the associate derivation to the nilradical is nontrivial, the Lie…

A fundamental concept in control theory is that of controllability, where any system state can be reached through an appropriate choice of control inputs. Indeed, a large body of classical and modern approaches are designed for controllable…

For linear evolution control system described by $\dot{x}=Ax(t)+Bu(t),x(0)=x_{0}$ ($A$ generates a strongly continuous semigroup ${S(t)}_{t\ge 0}$ in a Banach space $X$; $B$ is a linear unbounded operator), the attainable set $K(t)$ is…
