An introduction to the worst scenario method is given. We start with an example and a general abstract scheme. An analysis of the method both on the continuous and approximate levels is discussed. We show a possible incorporation of the method into the fuzzy set theory. Finally, we present a survey of applications published during the last decade.
This article considers the linear 1-d Schrödinger equation in (0,π) perturbed by a vanishing viscosity term depending on a small parameter ε > 0. We study the boundary controllability properties of this perturbed equation and the behavior of its boundary controls vε as ε goes to zero. It is shown that, for any time T sufficiently large but independent of ε and for each initial datum in H−1(0,π), there exists a uniformly...

We study the uniform stabilization problem for the Euler-Bernoulli equation defined on a smooth bounded domain of any dimension with feedback dissipative operators in various boundary conditions.
In this paper we prove a unique continuation result for a cascade system of parabolic equations, in which the solution of the first equation is (partially) used as a forcing term for the second equation. As a consequence we prove the existence of ε-insensitizing controls for some parabolic equations when the control region and the observability region do not intersect.
Uniqueness of the optimal control is obtained by assuming certain conditions on the crowding effect of the species. Moreover, an approximation procedure for the unique optimal control is developed.
The goal of this article is the study of the approximate controllability for two approximations of Navier Stokes equations with distributed controls. The method of proof combines a suitable linearization of the system with a fixed point argument. We then are led to study the approximate controllability of linear Stokes systems with potentials. We study both the case where there is no constraint on the control and the case where we search a control having one null component. In both cases,...
