On Carleman estimates for elliptic and parabolic operators. Applications to unique continuation and control of parabolic equations∗∗∗

Jérôme Le Rousseau, Gilles Lebeau (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Local and global Carleman estimates play a central role in the study of some partial differential equations regarding questions such as unique continuation and controllability. We survey and prove such estimates in the case of elliptic and parabolic operators by means of semi-classical microlocal techniques. Optimality results for these estimates and some of their consequences are presented. We point out the connexion of these optimality results to the local phase-space geometry after conjugation...

On constrained controllability of dynamical systems with multiple delays in control

Beata Sikora (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Linear, continuous dynamical systems with multiple delays in control are studied. Their relative and absolute controllability with constrained control is discussed. Definitions of various types of constrained relative and absolute controllability for linear systems with delays in control are introduced. Criteria of relative and absolute controllability with constrained control are established. Constraints on control values are considered. Mutual implications between constrained relative controllability...

On determining unknown functions in differential systems, with an application to biological reactors

Éric Busvelle, Jean-Paul Gauthier (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we consider general nonlinear systems with observations, containing a (single) unknown function ϕ . We study the possibility to learn about this unknown function via the observations: if it is possible to determine the [values of the] unknown function from any experiment [on the set of states visited during the experiment], and for any arbitrary input function, on any time interval, we say that the system is “identifiable”. For systems without controls, we give a more or less complete...

On directional change and anti-windup compensation in multivariable control systems

Dariusz Horla (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper presents a novel description of the interplay between the windup phenomenon and directional change in controls for multivariable systems (including plants with an uneven number of inputs and outputs), usually omitted in the literature. The paper also proposes a new classification of anti-windup compensators with respect to the method of generating the constrained control signal.

On dynamic feedback linearization of four-dimensional affine control systems with two inputs

J.-B. Pomet (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper considers control affine systems in λ 2 with two inputs, and gives necessary and sufficient conditions for dynamic feedback linearization of these systems with the restriction that the "linearizing outputs" must be some functions of the original state and inputs only. This also gives conditions for non-affine systems in λ 2 .

On exact controllability for the Navier-Stokes equations

O. Yu. Imanuvilov (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the local exact controllability problem for the Navier-Stokes equations that describe an incompressible fluid flow in a bounded domain with control distributed in an arbitrary fixed subdomain. The result that we obtain in this paper is as follows. Suppose that we have a given stationary point of the Navier-Stokes equations and our initial condition is sufficiently close to it. Then there exists a locally distributed control such that in a given moment of time the solution of the Navier-Stokes...

On exact null controllability of Black-Scholes equation

Kumarasamy Sakthivel, Krishnan Balachandran, Rangarajan Sowrirajan, Jeong-Hoon Kim (2008)

Kybernetika

In this paper we discuss the exact null controllability of linear as well as nonlinear Black–Scholes equation when both the stock volatility and risk-free interest rate influence the stock price but they are not known with certainty while the control is distributed over a subdomain. The proof of the linear problem relies on a Carleman estimate and observability inequality for its own dual problem and that of the nonlinear one relies on the infinite dimensional Kakutani fixed point theorem with L 2 ...

On exact solutions of a class of interval boundary value problems

Nizami A. Gasilov (2022)

Kybernetika

In this article, we deal with the Boundary Value Problem (BVP) for linear ordinary differential equations, the coefficients and the boundary values of which are constant intervals. To solve this kind of interval BVP, we implement an approach that differs from commonly used ones. With this approach, the interval BVP is interpreted as a family of classical (real) BVPs. The set (bunch) of solutions of all these real BVPs we define to be the solution of the interval BVP. Therefore, the novelty of the...
