The balayage method: boundary control of a thermo-elastic plate
We discuss the null boundary controllability of a linear thermo-elastic plate. The method employs a smoothing property of the system of PDEs which allows the boundary controls to be calculated directly by solving two Cauchy problems.
The bang-bang principle for a class of uncertain evolution linear differential [equations] in Hilbert spaces.
This paper deals with the problem of time-varying differential systems when unmodeled dynamics is present. The questions related to when unmodeled dynamics (in fact when parametrical and order errors) does not affect for problems like controllability and related ones with respect to the foreseen results for a correct modelling are investigated for a wide class of typical situations. The presented results seem to be of interest in Physics when modelling uncertainties are present. Only the linear...

The dynamical Lame system : regularity of solutions, boundary controllability and boundary data continuation
The boundary control problem for the dynamical Lame system (isotropic elasticity model) is considered. The continuity of the “input state” map in -norms is established. A structure of the reachable sets for arbitrary is studied. In general case, only the first component of the complete state may be controlled, an approximate controllability occurring in the subdomain filled with the shear (slow) waves. The controllability results are applied to the problem of the boundary data continuation....
The dynamical Lame system: regularity of solutions, boundary controllability and boundary data continuation
The boundary control problem for the dynamical Lame system (isotropic elasticity model) is considered. The continuity of the “input → state" map in L2-norms is established. A structure of the reachable sets for arbitrary T>0 is studied. In general case, only the first component of the complete state may be controlled, an approximate controllability occurring in the subdomain filled with the shear (slow) waves. The controllability results are applied to the problem of the boundary data continuation....

The relationship between the infinite eigenvalue assignment for singular systems and the solvability of polynomial matrix equations
Two related problems, namely the problem of the infinite eigenvalue assignment and that of the solvability of polynomial matrix equations are considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to both the problems are established. The relationships between the problems are discussed and some applications from the field of the perfect observer design for singular linear systems are presented.
The squares of the Laplacian-Dirichlet eigenfunctions are generically linearly independent
The paper deals with the genericity of domain-dependent spectral properties of the Laplacian-Dirichlet operator. In particular we prove that, generically, the squares of the eigenfunctions form a free family. We also show that the spectrum is generically non-resonant. The results are obtained by applying global perturbations of the domains and exploiting analytic perturbation properties. The work is motivated by two applications: an existence result for the problem of maximizing the rate of...
