Factor-parity Hall sets and controllability

Karine Beauchard, Frédéric Marbach

We introduce a class of Hall sets, which we call factor-parity Hall sets, whose elements split into good and bad brackets. We prove that the good brackets can be steered simultaneo…

Some quartic control results for scalar-input systems

Karine Beauchard, Frédéric Marbach

We investigate the role of quartic terms in the small-time local controllability of scalar-input systems. First, we prove a new sufficient condition for controllability, which expl…

Convergent realizations of Lie subalgebras

Karine Beauchard, Jérémy Le Borgne, Frédéric Marbach

It has been known since the seminal work of Guillemin and Sternberg that Lie subalgebras of finite codimension of an arbitrary real or complex Lie algebra can be realized as subalg…

Local convergence of Sussmann's infinite product for analytic vector fields

Jérémy Le Borgne, Frédéric Marbach

In 1986, Sussmann proposed an expansion of the Chen series as an infinite product of exponentials of Hall basis elements multiplied by coefficients defined through a simple inducti…

Time-iteration methods for controllability

Frédéric Marbach

These notes are based on a short course delivered at the Summer School EUR MINT 2025 "Control, Inverse Problems and Spectral Theory", held in June 2025 in Toulouse, France. The cou…

Small-time local control of a Schrödinger equation: a negative and a positive quadratic result

Karine Beauchard, Frédéric Marbach, Thomas Perrin

We study the small-time local controllability (STLC) of a bilinear Schrödinger equation with Neumann boundary conditions near its ground state. We focus on the degenerate case wher…

Control theory and splitting methods

Karine Beauchard, Adrien Busnot Laurent, Frédéric Marbach

Our goal is to highlight some deep connections between numerical splitting methods and control theory. We consider evolution equations of the form , wher…

A family of interpolation inequalities involving products of low-order derivatives

Frédéric Marbach

Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequalities relate Lebesgue norms of iterated derivatives of a function. We present a generalization of these inequalities in which the low-order…

A unified approach of obstructions to small-time local controllability for scalar-input systems

Karine Beauchard, Frédéric Marbach

We present a unified approach for determining and proving obstructions to small-time local controllability of scalar-input control systems. Our approach views obstructions to contr…

Linear and nonlinear parabolic forward-backward problems

Anne-Laure Dalibard, Frédéric Marbach, Jean Rax

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the well-posedness of several linear and nonlinear equations with a parabolic forward-backward structure, and to highlight the similarit…

Growth of structure constants of free Lie algebras relative to Hall bases

Karine Beauchard, Jérémy Le Borgne, Frédéric Marbach

We derive a priori bounds on the size of the structure constants of the free Lie algebra over a set of indeterminates, relative to its Hall bases. We investigate their asymptotic g…
