This paper is concerned with the internal distributed control problem for the 1D Schroedinger equation, $i\,u_t(x,t)=-u_{xx}+\alpha(x)\,u+m(u)\,u,$ that arises in quantum semiconductor models. Here $m(u)$ is a non local Hartree--type…
We consider stochastic control models with Borel spaces and universally measurable policies. For such models the standard policy iteration is known to have difficult measurability issues and cannot be carried out in general. We present a…
We consider the one-dimensional degenerate parabolic equation $$ u_t - (x^\alpha u_x)_x =0 \qquad x\in(0,1),\ t \in (0,T) ,$$ controlled by a boundary force acting at the degeneracy point $x=0$. First we study the reachable targets at some…

The paper deals with a problem of control of a system characterized by the fact that the influence of controls on the dynamics of certain functions of state variables (called observables) is relatively weak and the rates of change of these…
The optimization problems with simple bounds are an important class of problems. To facilitate the computation of such problems, an unconstrained-like dynamic method, motivated by the Lyapunov control principle, is proposed. This method…
We consider a nonlinear control system depending on two controls u and v, with dynamics affine in the (unbounded) derivative of u, and v appearing initially only in the drift term. Recently, motivated by applications to optimization…
We prove the well posedness of a class of non linear and non local mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems in bounded domains, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In view of control problems, stability estimates on the dependence of solutions on…
In this paper, we consider an initial boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. For this hyperbolic type problem, we derive guaranteed and computable upper bounds for the difference between the exact solution and any pair of vector…
S. Hansen and E. Zuazua [SIAM J. Cont. Optim., 1995] studied the problem of exact controllability of two strings connected by a point mass with constant physical coefficients. In this paper we study the same problem with variable physical…
The stability theory for hyperbolic initial boundary value problems relies most of the time on the Laplace transform with respect to the time variable. For technical reasons, this usually restricts the validity of stability estimates to the…
New classes of integrable boundary conditions for the q-deformed (or two-parameter) supersymmetric U model are presented. The boundary systems are solved by using the coordinate space Bethe ansatz technique and Bethe ansatz equations are…

We deal with a linear hyperbolic differential operator of the second order on a bounded planar domain with a smooth boundary. We establish a well-posedness result in case where a mixed, Dirichlet-Neumann, condition is prescribed on the…
A constant-rate multi-mode system is a hybrid system that can switch freely among a finite set of modes, and whose dynamics is specified by a finite number of real-valued variables with mode-dependent constant rates. Alur, Wojtczak, and…
