Sub-Finsler Geodesics on the Cartan Group
2018
This paper is a continuation of the work by the same authors on the Cartan group equipped with the sub-Finsler $\ell_\infty$ norm. We start by giving a detailed presentation of the structure of bang-bang extremal trajectories. Then we prove upper bounds on the number of switchings on bang-bang minimizers. We prove that any normal extremal is either bang-bang, or singular, or mixed. Consequently, we study mixed extremals. In particular, we prove that every two points can be connected by a piecewise smooth minimizer, and we give a uniform bound on the number of such pieces.
Optimal Control of the Controlled Lotka-Volterra Equations with Applications - The Permanent Case
2022
In this article motivated by the control of complex microbiota in view to reduce the infection by a pathogenic agent, we introduce the theoretical frame from optimal control to analyze the problem. Two complementary approaches can be applied in the analysis: one is the so-called permanent case, where no digital constraints are concerning the control (taken as a measurable mapping) versus the sampled-data control case taking into account the logistic constraints, e.g. frequency of the medical interventions. The model is the n-dimensional Lotka-Volterra equation controlled using either probiotics or antibiotic agents or transplantation and bactericides. In the permanent case the Maximum princ…
