We consider the controllability problem for the continuity equation, corresponding to neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which describes how a probability measure is pushedforward by the flow. We show that the controlled…
A new type of differential equations for probability measures on Euclidean spaces, called Measure Differential Equations (briefly MDEs), is introduced. MDEs correspond to Probability Vector Fields, which map measures on an Euclidean space…
We study the controllability of a Partial Differential Equation of transport type, that arises in crowd models. We are interested in controlling it with a control being a vector field, representing a perturbation of the velocity, localized…
Concentration of measure is studied, and obtained, for stable and related random vectors.
This note proposes a general control approach, called vector-field guided constraint-following control, to solve the dynamics control problem of geometric path-following for a class of uncertain mechanical systems. More specifically, it…
In this paper we study set convergence aspects for Banach spaces of vector-valued measures with divergences (represented by measures or by functions) and applications. We consider a form of normal trace characterization to establish…
Ensemble control deals with the problem of using a finite number of control inputs to simultaneously steer a large population (in the limit, a continuum) of control systems. Dual to the ensemble control problem, ensemble estimation deals…
Just as an explicit parameterisation of system dynamics by state, i.e., a choice of coordinates, can impede the identification of general structure, so it is too with an explicit parameterisation of system dynamics by control. However, such…
Measurement is a fundamental notion in the usual approximate quantum mechanics of measured subsystems. Probabilities are predicted for the outcomes of measurements. State vectors evolve unitarily in between measurements and by reduction of…
Contraction analysis considers the distance between two adjacent trajectories. If this distance is contracting, then trajectories have the same long-term behavior. The main advantage of this analysis is that it is independent of the…
The paper presents a general duality theory for vector measure spaces taking its origin in the author's papers written in the 1960s. The main result establishes a direct correspondence between the geometry of a measure in a vector space and…
We study controllability of a Partial Differential Equation of transport type, that arises in crowd models. We are interested in controlling such system with a control being a Lipschitz vector field on a fixed control set $\omega$. We prove…
We introduce a new formulation for differential equation describing dynamics of measures on an Euclidean space, that we call Measure Differential Equations with sources. They mix two different phenomena: on one side, a transport-type term,…
Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space. We consider the behavior of probability measures $\mu$ with the property that $$ \int_{X} d(x, y) d\mu(y) \qquad \mbox{is independent of}~x \in X.$$ It appears that such measures, when they exist,…
The variance of an arbitrary pointer observable is considered for the general case that a complex weak value is measured using a complex valued pointer state. For the typical cases where the pointer observable is either its position or…
In this paper, we investigate vector fields on polyhedral complexes and their associated trajectories. We study vector fields which are analogue of the gradient vector field of a function in the smooth case. Our goal is to define a nice…
This paper investigates the properties of trajectories in harmonic oscillator systems equipped with a point, absolutely continuous, or singular measure. As demonstrated in [30], infinite-dimensional linear flows of countable oscillator…
This paper is the first part of a project devoted to studying the interconnection between controllability properties of a dynamical system and the large-time asymptotics of trajectories for the associated stochastic system. It is proved…
This paper addresses the ubiquity of remarkable measures on graphs, and their applications. In many queueing systems, it is necessary to take into account the compatibility constraints between users, or between supply and demands, and so…
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…
