Finite speed of propagation in porous media by mass transportation methods
2004
Abstract In this Note we make use of mass transportation techniques to give a simple proof of the finite speed of propagation of the solution to the one-dimensional porous medium equation. The result follows by showing that the difference of support of any two solutions corresponding to different compactly supported initial data is a bounded in time function of a suitable Monge–Kantorovich related metric.

Partial isometries and the conjecture of C.K. Fong and S.K. Tsui
2016
Abstract We investigate some bounded linear operators T on a Hilbert space which satisfy the condition | T | ≤ | Re T | . We describe the maximum invariant subspace for a contraction T on which T is a partial isometry to obtain that, in certain cases, the above condition ensures that T is self-adjoint. In other words we show that the Fong–Tsui conjecture holds for partial isometries, contractive quasi-isometries, or 2-quasi-isometries, and Brownian isometries of positive covariance, or even for a more general class of operators.
Transportation-cost inequality on path spaces with uniform distance
2008
Abstract Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold and μ the distribution of the diffusion process generated by 1 2 ( Δ + Z ) where Z is a C 1 -vector field. When Ric − ∇ Z is bounded below and Z has, for instance, linear growth, the transportation-cost inequality with respect to the uniform distance is established for μ on the path space over M . A simple example is given to show the optimality of the condition.
A Birkhoff type integral and the Bourgain property in a locally convex space
2007
An integral, called the $Bk$-integral, for functions taking values in a locally convex space is defined. Properties of $Bk$-integrable functions are considered and the relations with other integrals are studied. Moreover the $Bk$-integrability of bounded functions is compared with the Bourgain property.
On Spaces of Bochner and Pettis Integrable Functions and Their Set-Valued Counterparts
2011
The aim of this paper is to give a brief summary of the Pettis and Bochner integrals, how they are related, how they are generalized to the set-valued setting and the canonical Banach spaces of bounded maps between Banach spaces that they generate. The main tool that we use to relate the Banach space-valued case to the set-valued case, is the R ̊adstr ̈om embedding theorem.
Structure and stability of traversable thin-shell wormholes in Palatini f(R) gravity
2020
We study the structure and stability of traversable wormholes built as (spherically symmetric) thin shells in the context of Palatini f(R) gravity. Using a suitable junction formalism for these theories we find that the effective number of degrees of freedom on the shell is reduced to a single one, which fixes the equation of state to be that of massless stress-energy fields, contrary to the general relativistic and metric f(R) cases. Another major difference is that the surface energy density threading the thin shell, needed in order to sustain the wormhole, can take any sign and may even vanish, depending on the desired features of the corresponding solutions. We illustrate our results by…
Impulse-based hybrid motion control
2017
The impulse-based discrete feedback control has been proposed in previous work for the second-order motion systems with damping uncertainties. The sate-dependent discrete impulse action takes place at zero crossing of one of both states, either relative position or velocity. In this paper, the proposed control method is extended to a general hybrid motion control form. We are using the paradigm of hybrid system modeling while explicitly specifying the state trajectories each time the continuous system state hits the guards that triggers impulsive control actions. The conditions for a stable convergence to zero equilibrium are derived in relation to the control parameters, while requiring on…
Time-optimal control of spin-1/2 particles with dissipative and generalized radiation-damping effects
2013
We analyze the time-optimal control of spin-1/2 particles with bounded field amplitudes in the presence of dissipative and radiation damping effects. Using tools of geometric optimal control theory, we determine different optimal syntheses for specific values of the system parameters. We show the nontrivial role of the effective radiation damping effect on the optimal control law.
Existence of global weak solutions to the kinetic Peterlin model
2018
Abstract We consider a class of kinetic models for polymeric fluids motivated by the Peterlin dumbbell theories for dilute polymer solutions with a nonlinear spring law for an infinitely extensible spring. The polymer molecules are suspended in an incompressible viscous Newtonian fluid confined to a bounded domain in two or three space dimensions. The unsteady motion of the solvent is described by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with the elastic extra stress tensor appearing as a forcing term in the momentum equation. The elastic stress tensor is defined by Kramer’s expression through the probability density function that satisfies the corresponding Fokker–Planck equation. In thi…
Singular Extremals for the Time-Optimal Control of Dissipative Spin 1/2 Particles
2010
We consider the time-optimal control by magnetic fields of a spin 1/2 particle in a dissipative environment. This system is used as an illustrative example to show the role of singular extremals in the control of quantum systems. We analyze a simple case where the control law is explicitly determined. We experimentally implement the optimal control using techniques of nuclear magnetic resonance. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental demonstration of singular extremals in quantum systems with bounded control amplitudes.
