We study boundary controllability of one-dimensional coupled hyperbolic-parabolic cascades, focusing on the fine structure of reachable sets. The main model is a wave-heat cascade in which a boundary control acts on the wave equation and…

It is first shown that a smooth controllable system on a compact manifold is finite time controllable. The technique of proof is close to the one of Sussmann's orbit theorem, and no rank condition is required. This technique is also used to…
In this paper, we establish the existence of solutions for a particular class of degenerate hyperbolic equations. Following this, we approximate these degenerate equations by employing a sequence of uniformly hyperbolic equations. Notably,…
Controllability properties for discrete-time, Markovian quantum dynamics are investigated. We find that, while in general the controlled system is not finite-time controllable, feedback control allows for arbitrary asymptotic state-to-state…
We are dealing with possibly degenerate second-order parabolic operators whose coefficients are infinitely differentiable with respect to space variables and only measurable with respect to the time variable. We impose the H\"ormander…

In this paper we consider a degenerate population equation in divergence form depending on time, on age and on space and we prove a related null controllability result via Carleman estimates.
