• #### Flux identification for 1-d scalar conservation laws in the presence of shocks ﻿

(2011-12-31)
We consider the problem of flux identification for 1-d scalar conservation laws formulating it as an optimal control problem. We introduce a new optimization strategy to compute numerical approximations of minimizing fluxes. ...

(2011-12-31)
Motivated by nonlinear elasticity theory, we study deformations that are approximately differentiable, orientation-preserving and one-to-one almost everywhere, and in addition have finite surface energy. This surface energy ...

(2011-12-31)
The fractional Poisson process (FPP) is a counting process with independent and identically distributed inter-event times following the Mittag-Leffler distribution. This process is very useful in several fields of applied ...

(2014-12-31)
In this study we investigate the potential and limitations of the wave genera- tion by disturbances moving at the bottom. More precisely, we assume that the wavemaker is composed of an underwater object of a given shape ...

In this paper, we study the problem of controllability of Schrödinger equation. We prove that the system is exactly controllable in infinite time to any po- sition. The proof is based on an inverse mapping theorem for ...

(2014-12-31)
The paper formulates the static control problem of Markov jump linear systems, assuming that the controller does not have access to the jump variable. We derive the expression of the gradient for the cost motivated by the ...

We address the question of exact controllability of the wave and Schrodinger equa\-tions perturbed by a singular inverse-square potential. Exact boundary controllability is proved in the range of subcritical coefficients ...
