Inversion in indirect optimal control of multivariable systems
This paper presents the role of vector relative degree in the formulation of stationarity conditions of optimal control problems for affine control systems. After translating the dynamics into a normal form, we study the Hamiltonian structure. Stationarity conditions are rewritten with a limited number of variables. The approach is demonstrated on two and three inputs systems, then, we prove a formal result in the general case. A mechanical system example serves as illustration.
Linear differential equations with measures as coefficients and the control theory
Local Controllability around Closed Orbits
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for local controllability around closed orbits for general smooth control systems. We also prove that any such system on a compact manifold has a closed orbit.
Lower semicontinuous differential inclusions. One-sided Lipschitz approach
Some properties of differential inclusions with lower semicontinuous right-hand side are considered. Our essential assumption is the one-sided Lipschitz condition introduced in [4]. Using the main idea of [10], we extend the well known relaxation theorem, stating that the solution set of the original problem is dense in the solution set of the relaxed one, under assumptions essentially weaker than those in the literature. Applications in optimal control are given.

Measure solutions for semilinear evolution equations with polynomial growth and their optimal control
In this paper we introduce a new concept of generalized solutions generalizing the notion of relaxed solutions recently introduced by Fattorini. We present some results on the question of existence of generalized or measure valued solutions for semilinear evolution equations on Banach spaces with polynomial nonlinearities. The results are illustrated by two examples one of which arises in nonlinear quantum mechanics. The results are then applied to some control problems.
Minimax control of nonlinear evolution equations
In this paper we study the minimax control of systems governed by a nonlinear evolution inclusion of the subdifferential type. Using some continuity and lower semicontinuity results for the solution map and the cost functional respectively, we are able to establish the existence of an optimal control. The abstract results are then applied to obstacle problems, semilinear systems with weakly varying coefficients (e.gȯscillating coefficients) and differential variational inequalities.
Mixed type semicontinuous differential inclusions in Banach spaces
We consider a class of differential inclusions in (nonseparable) Banach spaces satisfying mixed type semicontinuity hypotheses and prove the existence of solutions for a problem with state constraints. The cases of dissipative type conditions and with time lag are also studied. These results are then applied to control systems.

Necessary Optimality Conditions for a Lotka-Volterra Three Species System
An optimal control problem is studied for a Lotka-Volterra system of three differential equations. It models an ecosystem of three species which coexist. The species are supposed to be separated from each others. Mathematically, this is modeled with the aid of two control variables. Some necessary conditions of optimality are found in order to maximize the total number of individuals at the end of a given time interval.
New estimates for the solution of the Lyapunov matrix differential equation.
Nonlinear observers for locally uniformly observable systems
This paper deals with the observability analysis and the observer synthesis of a class of nonlinear systems. In the single output case, it is known [4, 5, 6] that systems which are observable independently of the inputs, admit an observable canonical form. These systems are called uniformly observable systems. Moreover, a high gain observer for these systems can be designed on the basis of this canonical form. In this paper, we extend the above results to multi-output uniformly observable systems....
