Title: The moment method and controllability of parabolic systems

Abstract:

In most of the long list of articles using the moment method to solve control problems, starting with the paper of Fattorini-Russell in the 70^{\prime}s until the review book of Avdonin-Ivanov, only finite dimensional controls are considered. In some particular cases, this leads to solve a basic moment problem of the form:

\forall\left(m_k\right) \in \ell^2, \exists ? u \in L^2(0, T), \int_0^T e^{-\lambda_k t} u(t) d t=m_k, k \geq 1.

If \left(\lambda_k\right) \subset(0, \infty), a necessary condition is that \left(e^{-\lambda_k t}\right) admits a biorthogonal family and this condition itself is equivalent to \sum_{k \geq 1} 1 / \lambda_k<\infty. This is a strong limitation.

 

The aim of this talk is to show, in a first step, how this moment method works to solve the null controllability problem for the heat equation:


where T>0, \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d is a sufficiently smooth bounded domain, \omega \subset \Omega is an open set. In this case, the associated moment problem writes: find u \in L^2\left(Q_T\right) such that

\int_0^T \int_\omega e^{-\lambda_k t} \varphi_k(x) u(t, x) d x d t=-e^{-\lambda_k T} \int_{\Omega} y^0(x) \varphi_k(x) d x, k \geq 1. 

Here \left(-\lambda_k, \varphi_k\right)_{k \geq 1} are the spectral elements of the Dirichlet Laplacian defined on L^2(\Omega) with domain \left(H^2 \cap H_0^1\right)(\Omega). A biorthogonal family \left(q_k\right) to \left(e^{-\lambda_k t} \varphi_k\right) is constructed in L^2((0, T) \times \omega) with estimates on the norms \left\|q_k\right\|_{L^2((0, T) \times \omega)}.

 

In a second step, the method is extended to some particular parabolic systems for which the moment method gives a solution of the null-controllability problem seeming difficult to get by using global Carleman inequalities.

 

The third step is devoted to some open abstract problems.

Title: Stability of some thermoelastic delayed systems

Abstract:

In this presentation, we address a stabilization problem for a generalized thermoelastic system with delay, commonly referred to as the \alpha-\beta system. Thermoelastic systems describe the interaction between mechanical deformations and thermal effects in elastic materials, and the inclusion of delay terms introduces additional challenges in the analysis of their stability. Delays in such systems can arise from physical phenomena such as heat conduction or time lags in control mechanisms, making them particularly relevant in practical applications. To analyze this system, we first establish its well-posedness by utilizing the semigroup approach. Specifically, we show that the \alpha-\beta system generates a C_0-semigroup, ensuring the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of the solutions on the initial data. Next, we turn to the stability analysis, focusing on both exponential and polynomial stability under certain conditions. By employing a frequency-domain approach, we derive conditions that ensure the system's response diminishes over time, either at an exponential rate or at a polynomial rate. Finally, we illustrate these theoretical results by applying them to specific examples within the field of thermoelasticity. These examples highlight the practical implications of the stabilization techniques and demonstrate how the results can be applied to real systems.

Title: Estimation of unknown action for a localized system: Application to the estimation of used water in irrigation

Abstract:

In this work, we consider the problem of estimating an unknown action for finite-dimensional dynamical linear systems. In added, we assume that the initial state is also unknown. This problem is different from the source detection problem addressed in many previous research works. As an application, we consider the case of irrigation billing: The problem is how to estimate the used water for irrigation and the yield. Indeed, due to climate change, the lack of precipitation forces farmers to resort to water and fertilizer-intensive methods to maximize their yield.

Thus, in this work, we address the problem of irrigation water billing for given crops over large areas by considering the problem of estimating an unknown action on a localized system from measurements taken during a specific time interval. We formulate the problem as an optimal control problem. As we assume that the initial state is unknown, we seek to determine the solution that minimizes, on the one hand, the value of this initial state, and on the other hand, the quantity of water required for the irrigation process. This permit to estimate the minimum of used water for irrigation and consequently permit the billing without excess. To illustrate our approach, some examples and simulation are given.

Title: Null controllability of an ODE-heat system with coupled boundary and internal terms

Abstract:

This talk is devoted to the null controllability of a coupled ODE-heat system internally and at the boundary with Neumann boundary control. First, we establish the null controllability of the ODE-heat with distributed control using Carleman estimates. Then, we conclude by the strategy of space domain extension. Finally, we illustrate the analysis with some numerical experiments.

Title: Inverse problems for 1d fluid-solid interaction model

Abstract:

In this talk we consider inverse problems for the partial differential equations describing the behavior of certain fluids.

Our focus will be on the fluid-structure interaction problem and the objective is to determine the moving domain where the equations are satisfied, based on external measurements.

We concentrate on a one-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem for the Burgers equation, and we will prove uniqueness and conditional stability results.

This work is in collaboration with J. Apraiz, E. Fernandez-Cara and M. Yamamoto [1].

Title: Auxiliary Splines Space Preconditioning for B-Splines Finite Elements: The case of \boldsymbol{H}(\mathbf{curl}, \Omega) and \boldsymbol{H}(div, \Omega) elliptic problems

Abstract:

This talk presents a study of large linear systems resulting from the regular B-splines finite element discretization of the \mathbf{curl}-\mathbf{curl} and \mathbf{grad}-div elliptic problems on unit square/cube domains. We consider systems subject to both homogeneous essential and natural boundary conditions. Our objective is to develop a preconditioning strategy that is optimal and robust, based on the Auxiliary Space Preconditioning method proposed by Hiptmair et al. [2]. Our approach is demonstrated to be robust with respect to mesh size, and we also show how it can be combined with the Generalized Locally Toeplitz (GLT) sequences analysis presented in [3] to derive an algorithm that is optimal and stable with respect to spline degree. Numerical tests are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.

Title: Cameron-Martin Formula for a Class of non-Gaussian Measures

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the quasi-invariant property of a class of non-Gaussian measures. These measures are associated with the family of generalized grey Brownian motions. We identify the Cameron-Martin space and derive the explicit Radon-Nikodym density in terms of the Wiener integral with respect to the fractional Brownian motion. Moreover,  we show an integration by parts formula for the derivative operator in the directions of the Cameron-Martin space. As a consequence, we derive the closability of both the derivative and the corresponding gradient operators.

Title: Non-autonomous wave equations: a controllability result

Abstract:

We consider a non-autonomous wave equation on (0,1) with degeneracy at x = 0. Obviously, the presence of a non-autonomous term and of a degenerate function leads us to use different spaces with respect to the standard ones and it gives rise to some new difficulties. However, thanks to some suitable assumptions on the functions, one can prove some estimates on the associated energy that are crucial to prove the controllability at a fixed time T.

Title: New results on maximal L^p-regularity of a class of integrodifferential equations

Abstract:

The aim of this talk is twofold. A novel variation of the constants formula will be presented for the mild solutions of integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces by employing a perturbation semigroup approach and admissible observation operators. Subsequently, utilizing this formula, an examination of the maximal regularity for such equations is conducted by applying the sum operator method established by Da Prato and Grisvard. Importantly, it is demonstrated that the maximal L^p-regularity of an integrodifferential equation is equivalent to that of the same equation when the integral term is omitted.

Title: Error Analysis of Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Parabolic Problems with Dynamic Boundary Conditions

Abstract:

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are deep learning-based methods designed to approximate solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) by minimizing specific residuals mapping. In this talk, we present an error analysis estimation of PINNs for solving parabolic PDEs with dynamic boundary conditions. Numerical simulations are also conducted to validate our theoretical findings, demonstrating strong agreement with our theory.

Title: The diamagnetic inequality for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator

Abstract:

Let \Omega be an open subset of \mathbb{R}^d for some d \ge 2 and consider two elliptic operators L_0 = - \sum_{k,l=1}^d  \partial_k ( a_{kl} \partial_l . ) and L_a = - \sum_{k,l=1}^d  (\partial_k -i a_k)  ( a_{kl} (\partial_l -i a_l)   . ) where a_{kl} are real-valued and bounded measurable and a_k \in L^2_{loc} and real-valued. The operator L_a is the elliptic operator with a magnetic field.

If both operator are subject to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions then the diamagnetic inequality says that the semigroup of L_a is (pointwise) dominated by the semigroup of L_0. This property, mainly known when \Omega = {\mathbb R}^d, plays an important role in spectral theory of Schrödinger operators with magnetic fields. We prove a new diamagnetic inequality for the corresponding Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators on the the boundary of \Omega when \Omega is bounded and has Lipschiz boundary.

Title: Finite-time stabilization of linear and bilinear systems

Abstract:

Stability plays a fundamental role in ensuring the performance of dynamical
systems by characterizing their response to small perturbations. While
asymptotic stability guarantees convergence to an equilibrium state over an
infinite time horizon, finite-time stability ensures that this convergence occurs
within a finite time. In this work, we investigate the finite-time stabilization of
abstract linear and bilinear systems. The approach relies on Lyapunov function
methods and is applied to both finite-dimensional systems and partial
differential equations.

Title: Impact of Mixed Boundary Conditions on Stochastic Equations with Noise at the Boundary

Abstract:

In this talk, we study evolution equations that are perturbed at the boundary by both noise and an unbounded perturbation. First, using the theory of regular linear systems, we prove the existence of solutions to this equation. Second, we investigate the long-time behavior of the solutions, such as the absolute continuity and the existence of an invariant measure.

Title: Decay properties of the Maxwell system with conductivity

Abstract:

We discuss the linear autonomous Maxwell system with damping caused by a nonnegative conductivity \sigma. For the scalar wave equation it is well known that the location of the support of \sigma often determines the resulting decay behavior. The Maxwell case is far less studied and poses additional difficulties. For instance, the charges (or divergence conditions) play a crucial role as they have to counteract the large kernel of the curl operator.

We present two very recent results. One obtains polynomial decay if \sigma is strictly positive on a strip of a cube, assuming that permittivity \varepsilon and permeability \mu are constant. This fact follows from a resolvent estimate which is shown by means of the eigenfunctions of the undamped Maxwell problem. We further look at the Maxwell system with matrix-valued \varepsilon and \mu. Here we show exponential stability if \sigma is strictly positive in a neighborhood of the connected boundary of a simply connected domain. Our proof is based on an observability estimate in this case. The first part is joint work with Serge Nicaise (Valenciennes) and the second with Richard Nutt (Karlsruhe).

Title: Order, Topology and Fixed points: New Theoretical Insights and Applications 

Abstract:

In this talk, we present a series of fixed point theorems developed within the framework of partially ordered topological spaces. A key focus of our work is on cases where the topology is induced by a metric. Our findings generalize several well known results in the literature, significantly expanding the scope of fixed point theory to more general settings. Throughout our analysis, we provide fresh insights into the interplay between order structures and topological properties, shedding light on previously unexplored connections. To demonstrate the practical relevance and theoretical significance of our results, we include a variety of illustrative examples and applications. The contributions presented in this talk pave the way for further research, opening new avenues for exploration in this dynamic area of mathematics.

Title: A Mixed Finite Element Method for Free Boundary Convection-Diffusion Problems

Abstract:

This talk will focus on time-dependent free boundary problems governed by a convectiondiffusion operator. We develop a new computational methodology that integrates a Lagrangian technique [1] with mixed finite elements, ensuring mass conservation and leading to a symmetric saddle point system with complementarity conditions [2]. A key contribution is the development of an efficient active-set solver with a Schur-complement technique. We will discuss the efficiency and accuracy of our approach and its applications in solving convection-dominated free boundary problems in finance [3] and tribology [4].

Title: Modelling, Machine Learning and Control

Abstract:

Often in applications the first and major challenge is to derive reliable models to later employ them for design, control and decision-making purposes. In this lecture we will present a hybrid strategy, based on the combination of classical PDE approaches and data-driven ones, to design models that are both, data aware and consistent with mechanics. The appropriate blending of Machine Learning and Control techniques will play a major role.
