The degeneration of reachable singular systems under feedback-transformations
The inverse carrier problem
The problem was motivated by Borůvka’s definitions of the carrier and the associated carrier. The inverse carrier problem is precisely defined and partially solved. Examples are given.

The steepest descent dynamical system with control. Applications to constrained minimization
Let be a real Hilbert space, a convex function of class that we wish to minimize under the convex constraint . A classical approach consists in following the trajectories of the generalized steepest descent system (cf. Brézis [5]) applied to the non-smooth function . Following Antipin [1], it is also possible to use a continuous gradient-projection system. We propose here an alternative method as follows: given a smooth convex function whose critical points coincide with and a control...

The structure of reachable sets for affine control systems induced by generalized Martinet sub-lorentzian metrics
In this paper we investigate analytic affine control systems q̇ = X + uY, u ∈ [a,b] , where X,Y is an orthonormal frame for a generalized Martinet sub-Lorentzian structure of order k of Hamiltonian type. We construct normal forms for such systems and, among other things, we study the connection between the presence of the singular trajectory starting at q0 on the boundary of the reachable set from q0 with the minimal number of analytic functions needed for describing the reachable set from q0.

Topological properties of the solution set of a class of nonlinear evolutions inclusions
In the paper we study the topological structure of the solution set of a class of nonlinear evolution inclusions. First we show that it is nonempty and compact in certain function spaces and that it depends in an upper semicontinuous way on the initial condition. Then by strengthening the hypothesis on the orientor field , we are able to show that the solution set is in fact an -set. Finally some applications to infinite dimensional control systems are also presented.
Turnpike properties of approximate solutions of autonomous variational problems
Turnpike theorems by a value function approach
Turnpike theorems deal with the optimality of trajectories reaching a singular solution, in calculus of variations or optimal control problems. For scalar calculus of variations problems in infinite horizon, linear with respect to the derivative, we use the theory of viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations to obtain a unique characterization of the value function. With this approach, we extend for the scalar case the classical result based on Green theorem, when there is uniqueness of the...
