Some geometrical properties of infinite-dimensional bilinear controlled systems

Naceurdine Bensalem, Fernand Pelletier (1999)

Banach Center Publications

The study of controlled infinite-dimensional systems gives rise to many papers (see for instance [GXL], [GXB], [X]) but it is also motivated by various mathematical problems: partial differential equations ([BP]), sub-Riemannian geometry on infinite-dimensional manifolds ([Gr]), deformations in loop-spaces ([AP], [PS]). The first difference between finite and infinite-dimensional cases is that solutions in general do not exist (even locally) for every given control function. The aim of this paper...

Some properties of Carnot-Carathéodory balls in the Heisenberg group

Roberto Monti (2000)

Using the exact representation of Carnot-Carathéodory balls in the Heisenberg group, we prove that: 1. H n d z , t = 1 in the classical sense for all z , t H n with z 0 , where d is the distance from the origin; 2. Metric balls are not optimal isoperimetric sets in the Heisenberg group.

Some relations among volume, intrinsic perimeter and one-dimensional restrictions of B V functions in Carnot groups

Francescopaolo Montefalcone (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Let 𝔾 be a k -step Carnot group. The first aim of this paper is to show an interplay between volume and 𝔾 -perimeter, using one-dimensional horizontal slicing. What we prove is a kind of Fubini theorem for 𝔾 -regular submanifolds of codimension one. We then give some applications of this result: slicing of B V 𝔾 functions, integral geometric formulae for volume and 𝔾 -perimeter and, making use of a suitable notion of convexity, called 𝔾 -convexity, we state a Cauchy type formula for 𝔾 -convex sets. Finally,...
