We prove that the geometric control condition is not necessary to obtain the smoothing effect and the uniform stabilization for the strongly dissipative Schr\"odinger equation.
Discrete control systems, as considered here, refer to the control theory of discrete-time Lagrangian or Hamiltonian systems. These discrete-time models are based on a discrete variational principle, and are part of the broader field of…
