Nonlocal Schrödinger equations in metric measure spaces

In this note we consider the pointwise convergence to the initial data for the solutions of some nonlocal dyadic Schrödinger equations on spaces of homogeneous type. We prove the a.e. convergence when the initial data belongs to a dyadic version of an L2 based Besov space.Fil: Actis, Marcelo Jesús. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Approximation classes for adaptive time-stepping finite element methods

We study approximation classes for adaptive time-stepping finite element methods for time-dependent Partial Differential Equations (PDE). We measure the approximation error in $L_2([0,T)\times\Omega)$ and consider the approximation with discontinuous finite elements in time and continuous finite elements in space, of any degree. As a byproduct we define Besov spaces for vector-valued functions on an interval and derive some embeddings, as well as Jackson- and Whitney-type estimates.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figure

MPC for tracking with maximum domain of attraction

This paper presents a novel set-based model predictive control for tracking, with the largest domain of attraction. The formulation - which consists of a single optimization problem - shows a dual behavior: one operating inside the maximal controllable set to the feasible equilibrium set, and the other operating at the $N$-controllable set to the same equilibrium set. Based on some finite-time convergence results, global stability of the resulting closed-loop is proved, while recursive feasibility is ensured for any change of the set point. The properties and advantages of the controller have been tested on simulation models

Characterization and computation of control invariant sets within target regionsfor linear impulsive control systems

Linear impulsively controlled systems are suitable to describe a venue of real-life problems, going from disease treatment to aerospace guidance. The main characteristic of such systems is that they remain uncontrolled for certain periods of time. As a consequence, punctual equilibria characterizations outside the origin are no longer useful, and the whole concept of equilibrium and its natural extension, the controlled invariant sets, needs to be redefined. Also, an exact characterization of the admissible states, i.e., states such that their uncontrolled evolution between impulse times remain within a predefined set, is required. An approach to such tasks -- based on the Markov-Lukasz theorem -- is presented, providing a tractable and non-conservative characterization, emerging from polynomial positivity that has application to systems with rational eigenvalues. This is in turn the basis for obtaining a tractable approximation to the maximal admissible invariant sets. In this work, it is also demonstrated that, in order for the problem to have a solution, an invariant set (and moreover, an equilibrium set) must be contained within the target zone. To assess the proposal, the so-obtained impulsive invariant set is explicitly used in the formulation of a set-based model predictive controller, with application to zone tracking. In this context, specific MPC theory needs to be considered, as the target is not necessarily stable in the sense of Lyapunov. A zone MPC formulation is proposed, which is able to i) track an invariant set such that the uncontrolled propagation fulfills the zone constraint at all times and ii) converge asymptotically to the set of periodic orbits completely contained within the target zone.Fil: Sánchez, Ignacio Julián Rodolfo.

On stability of nonzero set-point for non linear impulsive control systems

The interest in non-linear impulsive systems (NIS) has been growing due to its impact in application problems such as disease treatments (diabetes, HIV, influenza, among many others), where the control action (drug administration) is given by short-duration pulses followed by time periods of null values. Within this framework the concept of equilibrium needs to be extended (redefined) to allows the system to keep orbiting (between two consecutive pulses) in some state space regions out of the origin, according to usual objectives of most real applications. Although such regions can be characterized by means of a discrete-time system obtained by sampling the NIS at the impulsive times, no agreements have reached about their asymptotic stability (AS). This paper studies the asymptotic stability of control equilibrium orbits for NSI, based on the underlying discrete time system, in order to establish the conditions under which the AS for the latter leads to the AS for the former. Furthermore, based on the latter AS characterization, an impulsive Model Predictive Control (i-MPC) that feasibly stabilizes the non-linear impulsive system is presented. Finally, the proposed stable MPC is applied to two control problems of interest: the intravenous bolus administration of Lithium and the administration of antiretrovirals for HIV treatments.Fil: D'jorge, Agustina.

Optimal control strategies to tailor antivirals for acute infectious diseases in the host

Several mathematical models in SARS-CoV-2 have shown how target-cell model can help to understand the spread of the virus in the host and how potential candidates of antiviral treatments can help to control the virus. Concepts as equilibrium and stability show to be crucial to qualitative determine the best alternatives to schedule drugs, according to effectivity in inhibiting the virus infection and replication rates. Important biological events such as rebounds of the infections (when antivirals are incorrectly interrupted) can also be explained by means of a dynamic study of the target-cell model. In this work a full characterization of the dynamical behavior of the target-cell models under control actions is made and, based on this characterization, the optimal fixeddose antiviral schedule that produces the smallest amount of dead cells (without viral load rebounds) is computed. Several simulation results - performed by considering real patient data - show the potential benefits of both, the model characterization and the control strategy.Fil: Perez, Mara Isabel.
