Boundary observability for gas giant metrics

Maarten V. de Hoop, Antti Kykkänen, Emmanuel Trélat

We study the observability of waves on gas giant manifolds which are a class of Riemannian manifolds whose metrics are singular at the boundary. Such manifolds arise naturally in m…

From PDEs on standard domains to self-similar particle systems on fractals

Georgi Medvedev, Emmanuel Trélat

We construct transported PDEs on self-similar fractal domains from reference equations posed on the unit interval, and derive explicit self-similar interacting particle systems tha…

A flatness proof of the exponential turnpike phenomenon for linear-quadratic optimal control problems

Michel Fliess, Claude Lobry, Emmanuel Trélat

We revisit finite-dimensional linear-quadratic optimal control from the viewpoint of differential flatness. If the pair (A, B) is controllable, then the linear control system is fl…
