Controllability of Schrödinger equation with a nonlocal term
This paper is concerned with the internal distributed control problem for the 1D Schrödinger equation, i ut(x,t) = −uxx+α(x) u+m(u) u, that arises in quantum semiconductor models. Here m(u) is a non local Hartree–type nonlinearity stemming from the coupling with the 1D Poisson equation, and α(x) is a regular function with linear growth at infinity, including constant electric fields. By means of both the Hilbert Uniqueness Method and the contraction mapping theorem it is shown that for initial and...
Riemannian metrics on 2D-manifolds related to the Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion
The Euler−Poinsot rigid body motion is a standard mechanical system and it is a model for left-invariant Riemannian metrics on SO(3). In this article using the Serret−Andoyer variables we parameterize the solutions and compute the Jacobi fields in relation with the conjugate locus evaluation. Moreover, the metric can be restricted to a 2D-surface, and the conjugate points of this metric are evaluated using recent works on surfaces of revolution. Another related 2D-metric on S2 associated to the...
The smooth continuation method in optimal control with an application to quantum systems
The motivation of this article is double. First of all we provide a geometrical framework to the application of the smooth continuation method in optimal control, where the concept of conjugate points is related to the convergence of the method. In particular, it can be applied to the analysis of the global optimality properties of the geodesic flows of a family of Riemannian metrics. Secondly, this study is used to complete the analysis of two-level dissipative quantum systems, where the system...
