In the flow past a stationary circular cylinder, the classical Karman vortex street arises from a Hopf bifurcation of the steady flow at the critical Reynolds number. Although this solution becomes dynamically unstable beyond this point, it…
In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a monotone problem posed in a locally periodic oscillating domain is studied. Nonlinear monotone boundary conditions are imposed on the oscillating part of the boundary whereas the…
Let $H$ be a subnormal co-compact closed subgroup of a Hausdorff topological group $T$ and $X$ a compact Hausdorff space. We prove the inheritance theorem: A point of $X$ is almost periodic (a.p.) for $T\curvearrowright X$ iff it is a.p.…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of a Schr\''odinger equation involving the sub-Laplacian of a nilmanifold obtained by taking the quotient of a group of Heisenberg type by one of its discrete…
The nonholonomic dynamics can be described by the so-called nonholonomic bracket on the constrained submanifold, which is a non-integrable modification of the Poisson bracket of the ambient space, in this case, of the canonical bracket on…
We study the end-point map of a control-linear system in a neighborhood of an arbitrarily chosen trajectory. In particular, we want to calculate the $k$-th order derivative of this map in a given direction. A priori it is a solution of a…
We generalize most of the known Ricci flow invariant non-negative curvature conditions to less restrictive negative bounds that remain sufficiently controlled for a short time. As an illustration of the contents of the paper, we prove that…
We study the boundary control of solutions of the Helmholtz and Maxwell equations to enforce local non-zero constraints. These constraints may represent the local absence of nodal or critical points, or that certain functionals depending on…
We study the singular stochastic optimal control problem with model uncertainty, where the necessary conditions determined by the corresponding maximum principle are trivial. Robust integral form and pointwise second order necessary…
We prove that for closed rank 1 manifolds without focal points the equilibrium states are unique for H\"older potentials satisfying the pressure gap condition. In addition, we provide a criterion for a continuous potential to satisfy the…
In this article we develop a theory of contact systems with nonholonomic constraints. We obtain the dynamics from Herglotz's variational principle, by restricting the variations so that they satisfy the nonholonomic constraints. We prove…
Constrained optimization problems where both the objective and constraints may be nonsmooth and nonconvex arise across many learning and data science settings. In this paper, we show for any Lipschitz, weakly convex objectives and…
We prove that the Ricci flow g(t) starting at any metric on the euclidean space that is invariant by a transitive nilpotent Lie group N, can be obtained by solving an ODE for a curve of nilpotent Lie brackets. By using that this ODE is the…
Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…
The goal of this work is to prove global controllability and stabilization properties for the fractional Schr\"odinger equation on $d$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary $(M,g)$. To prove our main results we use…
We consider some generalizations of the classical nonholonomic integrator and give a geometric approach to characterize controllability for these systems. We use Stokes' theorem and results from complex analysis to obtain necessary and…
For exact area-preserving twist maps, curves were constructed through the gaps of cantori in \cite{MMP84}, which were conjectured to have minimal flux subject to passing through the points of the cantorus. It was pointed out by \cite{Pol}…
The paper is devoted to the study of topological properties, structure and classification of Morse flows with fixed points on the boundary of three-dimensional manifolds. We construct a complete topological invariant of a Morse flow,…
Controllability properties are studied for control-affine systems depending on a parameter and with constrained control values. The uncontrolled systems in dimension two and three are subject to a homoclinic bifurcation. This generates two…
We study the output tracking problem for a vertically driven drill string system described by a nonlinear boundary-coupled PDE-ODE model. Solvability analysis of the drill string model is achieved by first casting the model in an abstract…
