Reachable sets for a class of contact sub-lorentzian metrics on ℝ³, and null non-smooth geodesics

Marek Grochowski (2008)

Banach Center Publications

We compute future timelike and nonspacelike reachable sets from the origin for a class of contact sub-Lorentzian metrics on ℝ³. Then we construct non-smooth (and therefore non-Hamiltonian) null geodesics for these metrics. As a consequence we deduce that the sub-Lorentzian distance from the origin is continuous at points belonging to the boundary of the reachable set.

Resonance of minimizers for n-level quantum systems with an arbitrary cost

Ugo Boscain, Grégoire Charlot (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider an optimal control problem describing a laser-induced population transfer on a n -level quantum system. For a convex cost depending only on the moduli of controls (i.e. the lasers intensities), we prove that there always exists a minimizer in resonance. This permits to justify some strategies used in experimental physics. It is also quite important because it permits to reduce remarkably the complexity of the problem (and extend some of our previous results for n = 2 and n = 3 ): instead of looking...
