For plane frameworks with reflection or rotational symmetries, where the group action is not necessarily free on the vertex set, we introduce a phase-symmetric orbit rigidity matrix for each irreducible representation of the group. We then…

This paper extends the theory of controlled Hamiltonian systems with symmetries due to [9, 10, 6, 7, 11] to the case of non-abelian symmetry groups $G$. The notion of symmetry actuating forces is introduced and it is shown, that Hamiltonian…

We investigate symmetries of the scalar field theory with harmonic term on the Moyal space with euclidean scalar product and general symplectic form. The classical action is invariant under the orthogonal group if this group acts also on…
We consider the problem of ensuring the safety of nonlinear control systems under adversarial signals. Using Lyapunov based reachability analysis, we first give sufficient conditions to assess safety, i.e., to guarantee that the states of…
We give a new independent proof of a generalised version of the theorem by Rashevskii, which appeared in [Uch. Zapiski Ped. Inst. K. 2 (1938), 83 -- 94] and from which the classical Chow-Rashevskii Theorem follows as a corollary. The proof…
In this paper we study Chaplygin's Reducibility Theorem and extend its applicability to nonholonomic systems with symmetry described by the Hamilton-Poincare-d'Alembert equations in arbitrary degrees of freedom. As special cases we extract…
We will show that there is a universal connection between the achievable closed-loop dynamics and the corresponding feedback controller that produces it. This connection shows promise to lead to new methods for robust nonlinear control in…
The soft bootstrap is an on-shell method to constrain the landscape of effective field theories (EFTs) of massless particles via the consistency of the low-energy S-matrix. Given assumptions on the on-shell data (particle spectra, linear…
We prove global internal controllability in large time for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on some compact manifolds of dimension 3. The result is proved under some geometrical assumptions : geometric control and unique continuation.…
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…
This paper focuses on finding approximate solutions to stochastic optimal control problems with control domains being not necessarily convex, where the state trajectory is subject to controlled stochastic differential equations. The…
In this paper we extend to a generic class of piecewise smooth dynamical systems a fundamental tool for the analysis of convergence of smooth dynamical systems: contraction theory. We focus on switched systems satisfying Caratheodory…
We consider a terminal control problem for processes governed by a nonlinear system of fractional ODEs. In order to show existence of the control, we first consider the linear counterpart of the system and reprove a number of classical…
Symmetry plays a basic role in variational problems (settled e.g. in $\mathbb R^{n}$ or in a more general manifold), for example to deal with the lack of compactness which naturally appear when the problem is invariant under the action of a…
We present sufficient conditions for exact controllability of a semilinear infinite dimensional dynamical system. The system mild solution is formed by a noncompact semigroup and a nonlinear disturbance that does not need to be Lipschitz…
The main result of this paper is a convexity theorem for momentum mappings of certain hamiltonian actions of noncompact semisimple Lie groups. The image is required to fall within a certain open subset D of the (dual of the) Lie algebra,…
Within the exact renormalisation group approach, it is shown that stability properties of the flow are controlled by the choice for the regulator. Equally, the convergence of the flow is enhanced for specific optimised choices for the…
