Algebraic Invariance Conditions in the Study of Approximate (Null-)Controllability of Markov Switch Processes
We aim at studying approximate null-controllability properties of a
particular class of piecewise linear Markov processes (Markovian switch
systems). The criteria are given in terms of algebraic invariance and are
easily computable. We propose several necessary conditions and a sufficient
one. The hierarchy between these conditions is studied via suitable
counterexamples. Equivalence criteria are given in abstract form for general
dynamics and algebraic form for systems with constant coefficients or
continuous switching. The problem is motivated by the study of lysis phenomena
in biological organisms and price prediction on spike-driven commodities.Comment: Mathematics of Control, Signals, and Systems, Springer Verlag

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 exponential decay of a damped membrane
and an approximate controllability result for the bilinear Schr\"odinger
equation
A survey on fuzzy fractional differential and optimal control nonlocal evolution equations
We survey some representative results on fuzzy fractional differential
equations, controllability, approximate controllability, optimal control, and
optimal feedback control for several different kinds of fractional evolution
equations. Optimality and relaxation of multiple control problems, described by
nonlinear fractional differential equations with nonlocal control conditions in
Banach spaces, are considered.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper whose final and definite form is with
