Turnpike in optimal control of PDEs, ResNets, and beyond

B Geshkovski, E Zuazua - Acta Numerica, 2022 - cambridge.org
The turnpike property in contemporary macroeconomics asserts that if an economic planner
seeks to move an economy from one level of capital to another, then the most efficient path …

Control under constraints for multi-dimensional reaction-diffusion monostable and bistable equations

D Ruiz-Balet, E Zuazua - Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2020 - Elsevier
Dynamic phenomena in social and biological sciences can often be modeled by reaction-
diffusion equations. When addressing the control from a mathematical viewpoint, one of the …

degenerate parabolic Cauchy problems. In particular, we consider a one-dimensional …

State-constrained controllability of linear reaction-diffusion systems

P Lissy, C Moreau - ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of …, 2021 - esaim-cocv.org
We study the controllability of a coupled system of linear parabolic equations, with
nonnegativity constraint on the state. We establish two results of controllability to trajectories …

Controllability of a class of infinite dimensional systems with age structure.

D Maity, M Tucsnak, E Zuazua - Control and Cybernetics, 2020 - hal.science
Given a linear dynamical system, we investigate the linear infinite dimensional system
obtained by grafting an age structure. Such systems appear essentially in population …

[HTML][HTML] Approximate controllability of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation in one dimension

S Chowdhury, M Biswas, R Dutta - Journal of Differential Equations, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract The FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) equation is a simplified model of a nerve axon. We
explore the controllability of this model using a localized interior control only for the first …
