We study metastability for symbolic dynamic. We prove that for a global system given by two independent sub-systems linked by a hole, and for a Lipschitz continuous potential, the global equilibrium state converges, as the hole shrinks, to…
We study maximum-entropy inference for finite-dimensional quantum states under linear moment constraints. Given expectation values of finitely many observables, the feasible set of states is convex but typically non-unique. The…
We derive general properties, which hold for both quantum and classical systems, of response functions of nonequilibrium steady states. We clarify differences from those of equilibrium states. In particular, sum rules and asymptotic…
Facts happen at every interaction, but they are not absolute: they are relative to the systems involved in the interaction. Stable facts are those whose relativity can effectively be ignored. In this work, we describe how stable facts…
We provide several characterizations of convergence to unstable equilibria in nonlinear systems. Our current contribution is three-fold. First we present simple algebraic conditions for establishing local convergence of non-trivial…
An optimal control of a steady state thermistor problem is considered, where the convective boundary coefficient is taken as the control variable. A distinctive feature of this paper is that the problem is considered in arbitrary…
A non-convex control system governed by a nonlinear impulsive evolution equation of Hilfer fractional order in a Banach space is considered. The existence of admissible state-control pair is established. Then the introduction of suitable…
The problem of state selection when multiple metastable states compete for occupation is considered for systems that are accelerated far from equilibrium. The dynamics of the supercurrent in a narrow superconducting ring under the influence…
It is shown that, under suitable conditions, involving in particular the existence of analytic constants of motion, the presence of Lie point symmetries can ensure the convergence of the transformation taking a vector field (or dynamical…
Asymptotic hyperstability is achievable under certain switching laws if at least one of the feed-forward parameterization: 1) possesses a strictly positive real transfer function, 2) a minimum residence time interval is respected for each…
While port-Hamiltonian descriptor systems are known to be stable and passive, they may not be asymptotically stable or strictly passive. Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented when these properties as well as the regularity and…
In this paper, problems of optimal control are considered where in the objective function, in addition to the control cost there is a tracking term that measures the distance to a desired stationary state. The tracking term is given by some…
Motivated by the scalability problem in large networks, we study stability of a network of infinitely many finite-dimensional subsystems. We develop a so-called relaxed small-gain theorem for input-to-state stability (ISS) with respect to a…
An exponential turnpike property for a semilinear control problem is proved. The state-target is assumed to be small, whereas the initial datum can be arbitrary. Turnpike results are also obtained for large targets, requiring that the…
Coupling of chaotic oscillators has evidenced conditions where synchronization is possible, therefore a nonlinear system can be driven to a particular state through input from a similar oscillator. Here we expand this concept of control of…
We study the entanglement entropy arising from coherent states and one--particle states. We show that it is possible to define a finite entanglement entropy by subtracting the vacuum entropy from that of the considered states, when the…
A monotone self-mapping of the nonnegative orthant induces a monotone discrete-time dynamical system which evolves on the same orthant. If with respect to this system the origin is attractive then there must exists points whose image under…
In the paper, for the system which possesses both an attractor and a stable fixed point, we first formulate new stable control problems to find the asymptotically stable control function which realizes to transit a state moving around the…
In many applications one is interested in finding the stability regions (basins of attraction) of some stationary states (attractors). In this paper we show that one cannot compute, in general, the basins of attraction of even very regular…
We introduce the concept of non-uniform input-to-state stability for networks. It combines the uniform global stability with the uniform attractivity of any subnetwork, while it allows for non-uniform convergence of all components. For an…
