Asymptotic null controllability of bilinear systems
The region of asymptotic null controllability of bilinear systems with control constraints is characterized using Lyapunov exponents. It is given by the cone over the region of attraction of the maximal control set in projective space containing zero in its spectral interval.

Bilateral polynomial equations with unimodular right-hand-side matrices
Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of a solution to some bilateral polynomial matrix equations with unimodular right-hand-side matrices. A procedure for the computation of the solution is derived and illustrated by a numerical example. Two examples of applications of bilateral polynomial matrix equations are presented.
Bilinear characterizations of companion matrices
Companion matrices of the second type are characterized by properties that involve bilinear maps.
Boundary control of the Maxwell dynamical system : lack of controllability by topological reasons
Boundary control of the Maxwell dynamical system: lack of controllability by topological reasons
The paper deals with a boundary control problem for the Maxwell dynamical system in a bounbed domain Ω ⊂ R3. Let ΩT ⊂ Ω be the subdomain filled by waves at the moment T, T* the moment at which the waves fill the whole of Ω. The following effect occurs: for small enough T the system is approximately controllable in ΩT whereas for larger T < T* a lack of controllability is possible. The subspace of unreachable states is of finite dimension determined by topological characteristics of ΩT.

Boundary controllability in problems of transmission for a class of second order hyperbolic systems
We consider transmission problems for general second order linear hyperbolic systems having piecewise constant coefficients in a bounded, open connected set with smooth boundary and controlled through the Dirichlet boundary condition. It is proved that such a system is exactly controllable in an appropriate function space provided the interfaces where the coefficients have a jump discontinuity are all star-shaped with respect to one and the same point and the coefficients satisfy a certain...

Boundary controllability of the finite-difference space semi-discretizations of the beam equation
We propose a finite difference semi-discrete scheme for the approximation of the boundary exact controllability problem of the 1-D beam equation modelling the transversal vibrations of a beam with fixed ends. First of all we show that, due to the high frequency spurious oscillations, the uniform (with respect to the mesh-size) controllability property of the semi-discrete model fails in the natural functional setting. We then prove that there are two ways of restoring the uniform controllability...

Boundary exact controllability for a porous elastic Timoshenko system
In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional system governed by two partial differential equations. Such a system models phenomena in engineering, such as vibrations in beams or deformation of elastic bodies with porosity. By using the HUM method, we prove that the system is boundary exactly controllable in the usual energy space. We will also determine the minimum time allowed by the method for the controllability to occur.
Boundary feedback stabilization of a three-layer sandwich beam : Riesz basis approach
In this paper, we consider the boundary stabilization of a sandwich beam which consists of two outer stiff layers and a compliant middle layer. Using Riesz basis approach, we show that there is a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions, which forms a Riesz basis in the state space. As a consequence, the spectrum-determined growth condition as well as the exponential stability of the closed-loop system are concluded. Finally, the well-posedness and regularity in the sense of Salamon-Weiss class as...
