Guidance and Control for Spacecraft Planar Re-phasing via Input Shaping and Differential Drag

Maneuvering of low Earth orbiting small spacecraft can be executed without propellant via atmospheric differential drag. This talk introduces analytical guidance solutions for short distance spacecraf...

Zubov's method for interconnected systems - a dissipative formulation

We study the domain of attraction of an asymptotically stable fixed point of the feedback interconnections of two nonlinear systems. For each subsystem we introduce an auxiliary system and assume that...

A model problem for Mean Field Games on networks

We consider the model problem "What time does the meeting start?" as a prototype for a general class of optimization problems with a continuum of players, called Mean Field Games. Since the dynamics o...

On the determination of finitely many parameters in some elliptic equations and systems from boundary measurements

In the talk I will describe some nonlinear severly ill-posed inverse boundary value problems involving elliptic equations and elliptic systems with applications to medical imaging, non destructive tes...

Optimal control of consensus models

In this talk we review basic alignment models appearing in high-dimensional, social dynamics of multi-agent systems. We study the emergence of self-organization phenomena, and the convergence to conse...

Zero-temperature limit of the Kawasaki dynamics for the Ising lattice gas in a large two-dimensional torus

We consider the Kawasaki dynamics at inverse temperature beta for the Ising lattice gas on a two-dimensional square of length 2L+1 with periodic boundary conditions. We assume that initially the parti...

Local and global behaviour of solutions of some quasilinear Hamilton Jacobi equations

We study the boundary behaviour of the solutions of (E) \Delta_p u+|\nabla u|^q=0 in a domain \Omega \subset \mathbb R^N, when N\geq p> q>p-1. We first recall the results obtained in the case p=...

Proper extension of minimum problems with unbounded controls

I will introduce the notion of "limit solution" for nonlinear o.d.e.'s where a control u is present together its time derivative. The control u is allowed to be a discontinuous integrable function,so ...

Stability of the isoperimetric inequality and Polya-Szego inequality under Steiner rearrangement

I shall start with a quick review of the basic properties of Steiner symmetrization of sets and functions. Through some recently developed analytical techniques, I will give a characterization of the ...

Non-Lambertian Models for the Shape from Shading problem: Analysis and Approximation via a Semi-Lagrangian Approach

The Shape--from--Shading problem is a well known ill-posed problem. Several contributions have addressed the case of Lambertian surfaces improving the model with the introduction of perspective deform...

Soluzioni deboli per Fokker-Planck e Mean Field Games

La teoria dei mean-field games proposta da Lasry e Lions, e in parallelo da Huang, Caines e Malhame', a partire dal 2006, e' un modello di campo medio per dinamiche con grandi popolazioni di piccoli a...
