This paper addresses the inverse source problem for a mixed-type fractional wave-diffusion-wave equation posed in a cylindrical domain. The governing equation involves a time-dependent variable-order fractional derivative, which enables the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the Euler-Bernoulli beam which is clamped at one end and free at the other end. We apply a boundary control with memory at the free end of the beam and prove that the "exponential decay" of the memory…

We study the role of time-reversal symmetry on the dynamical response of nonlinear optical systems that behave as unidirectional ("one-way") devices. It is shown that lossless nonlinear materials, despite being nonreciprocal, are typically…
Response theory describes the reaction of observales to perturbations in external fields. We review this formalism for quantum fiels in isolation that have unitary time evolution. An emphasis is put on consequences of causality and the…
The irreversibility of trajectories in stochastic dynamical systems is linked to the structure of their causal representation in terms of Bayesian networks. We consider stochastic maps resulting from a time discretization with interval \tau…
This paper provides a qualitative analysis of a non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with degenerate flexural rigidity, subjected to axial force and boundary control with time delay $\tau > 0$. By reformulating the system as an abstract…
Time reversal of waves has been successfully used in communications, sensing and imaging for decades. The application in underwater acoustic communications is of our special interest, as it puts together a reversible process (allowing a…
Waveform-selective metasurfaces offer unprecedented control over electromagnetic waves on the basis of pulse width. However, existing circuit models fail to capture the power-dependent behaviors of these metasurfaces, thereby limiting their…
Boundary feedback stabilisation of linear port-Hamiltonian systems on an interval is considered. Generation and stability results already known for linear feedback are extended to nonlinear dissipative feedback, both to static feedback…

We consider a periodic array of resonators, formed from Euler-Bernoulli beams, attached to the surface of an elastic half-space. Earlier studies of such systems have concentrated on compressional resonators. In this paper we consider the…
We study the wave equation in a bounded domain or on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Assume that we are given the hyperbolic Neumann-to-Dirichlet map on the boundary corresponding to physical boundary measurements. We consider…
This study formally adapts the time-domain linear sampling method (TLSM) for ultrasonic imaging of stationary and evolving fractures in safety-critical components. The TLSM indicator is then applied to the laboratory test data of [22, 18]…
We derive the extended fluctuation theorems in presence of multiple measurements and feedback, when the system is governed by Hamiltonian dynamics. We use only the forward phase space trajectories in the derivation. However, to obtain an…
The main contribution of this paper is the extension of the well-known boundary-control strategy based on structural invariants to the control of infinite-dimensional systems with in-domain actuation. The systems under consideration,…
We consider time-reversal of electromagnetic waves in a closed, wave-chaotic system containing a discrete, passive, harmonic-generating nonlinearity. An experimental system is constructed as a time-reversal mirror, in which excitations…
The question of thermalisation in closed quantum many-body systems has received a lot of attention in the past few years. An intimately related question is whether a closed quantum system shows irreversible dynamics. However,…
Thanks to a Multiple Scattering Theory algorithm, we present a way to focus energy at the deep subwavelength scale, from the far-field, inside a cubic disordered bubble cloud by using broadband Time Reversal (TR). We show that the…
The space-time focusing of a (continuous) succession of localized X-shaped pulses is obtained by suitably integrating over their speed, i.e., over their axicon angle, thus generalizing a previous (discrete) approach. First, new Superluminal…
