In optimal control theory, infimum gap means that there is a gap between the infimum values of a given minimum problem and an extended problem, obtained by enlarging the set of original solutions and controls. The gap phenomenon is somewhat…

The momentum conservation law for general dissipationless reduced-fluid (e.g., gyrofluid) models is derived by Noether method from a variational principle. The reduced-fluid momentum density and the reduced-fluid canonical momentum-stress…
We establish a central limit theorem and prove a moderate deviation principle for stochastic scalar conservation laws. Due to the lack of viscous term, this is done in the framework of kinetic solution. The weak convergence method and…
In this paper, approximate nonlinear self-adjointness for perturbed PDEs is introduced and its properties are studied. Consequently, approximate conservation laws which cannot be obtained by the approximate Noether theorem are constructed…
This paper mainly contributes to the extension of Noether's theorem to differential-difference equations. For that purpose, we first investigate the prolongation formula for continuous symmetries, which makes a characteristic representation…

For a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) $F = 0$ admitting a local (point, contact, or higher) symmetry $X$ with the characteristic $\varphi$, invariant solutions satisfy the reduced system $F = \varphi = 0$. We propose a…
As is well known, there are different Lagrangians which lead to the same Euler-Lagrange operator. The gauge invariance of a Lagrangian guarantees that of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange operator, but not vice versa. We show that the gauge…
Symmetries are defined in histories-based theories paying special attention to the class of history theories admitting quasitemporal structure (a generalization of the concept of `temporal sequences' of `events' using partial semigroups)…
Consideration of the Noether variational problem for any theory whose action is invariant under global and/or local gauge transformations leads to three distinct theorems. These include the familiar Noether theorem, but also two equally…
By considering the closure property of a Lagrangian multiform as a conservation law, we use Noether's theorem to show that every variational symmetry of a Lagrangian leads to a Lagrangian multiform. In doing so, we provide a systematic…
Optimal control theory, also known as Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, is applied to the quantum parameter estimation in the presence of decoherence. An efficient procedure is devised to compute the gradient of quantum Fisher information…
