This book presents methods to study the controllability and the stabilization of nonlinear control systems in finite and infinite dimensions. The emphasis is put on specific phenomena due to nonlinearities. In particular, many examples are given where nonlinearities turn out to be essential to get controllability or stabilization. Various methods are presented to study the controllability or to construct stabilizing feedback laws. The power of these methods is illustrated by numerous examples coming from such areas as celestial mechanics, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics. The book is addressed to graduate students in mathematics or control theory, and to mathematicians or engineers with an interest in nonlinear control systems governed by ordinary or partial differential equations.

This monograph explores the modeling of conservation and balance laws of one-dimensional hyperbolic systems using partial differential equations.  It presents typical examples of hyperbolic systems for a wide range of physical engineering applications, allowing readers to understand the concepts in whichever setting is most familiar to them.  With these examples, it also illustrates how control boundary conditions may be defined for the most commonly used control devices.The authors begin with the simple case of systems of two linear conservation laws and then consider the stability of systems under more general boundary conditions that may be differential, nonlinear, or switching.  They then extend their discussion to the case of nonlinear conservation laws and demonstrate the use of Lyapunov functions in this type of analysis.  Systems of balance laws are considered next, starting with the linear variety before they move on to more general cases of nonlinear ones.  They go on to show how the problem of boundary stabilization of systems of two balance laws by both full-state and dynamic output feedback in observer-controller form is solved by using a “backstepping” method, in which the gains of the feedback laws are solutions of an associated system of linear hyperbolic PDEs.  The final chapter presents a case study on the control of navigable rivers to emphasize the main technological features that may occur in real live applications of boundary feedback control.Stability and Boundary Stabilization of 1-D Hyperbolic Systems will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and control engineering.  The wide range of applications it discusses will help it to have as broad an appeal within these groups as possible.

Haim Brezis has made significant contributions in the fields of partial differential equations and functional analysis, and this volume collects contributions by his former students and collaborators in honor of his 60th anniversary at a conference in Gaeta. It presents new developments in the theory of partial differential equations with emphasis on elliptic and parabolic problems.

This book is a collection of lecture notes for the LIASFMA School and Workshop on "Harmonic Analysis and Wave Equations" which was held on May 8–18, 2017 at Fudan University, in Shanghai, China. The aim of the LIASFMA School and Workshop is to bring together Chinese and French experts to discuss and dissect recent progress in these related fields; and to disseminate state of art, new knowledge and new concepts, to graduate students and junior researchers.The book provides the readers with a unique and valuable opportunity to learn from and communicate with leading experts in nonlinear wave-type equations. The readers will witness the major development with the introduction of modern harmonic analysis and related techniques.

This book is mainly a collection of lecture notes for the 2021 LIASFMA International Graduate School on Applied Mathematics. It provides the readers some important results on the theory, the methods, and the application in the field of "Control of Partial Differential Equations". It is useful for researchers and graduate students in mathematics or control theory, and for mathematicians or engineers with an interest in control systems governed by partial differential equations.

This book is a collection of lecture notes for the LIASFMA Shanghai Summer School on "One-dimensional Hyperbolic Conservation Laws and Their Applications" which was held during August 16 to August 27, 2015 at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China. This summer school is one of the activities promoted by Sino-French International Associate Laboratory in Applied Mathematics (LIASFMA in short). LIASFMA was established jointly by eight institutions in China and France in 2014, which is aimed at providing a platform for some of the leading French and Chinese mathematicians to conduct in-depth researches, extensive exchanges, and student training in the field of applied mathematics. This summer school has the privilege of being the first summer school of the newly established LIASFMA, which makes it significant.
