#### WKB expansion for a fractional Schrödinger equation with applications to controllability

PDF version | Download Matlab Code… In [3], we develop a WKB analysis for the propagation of the solutions to the following one-dimensional nonlocal Schrödinger equation \begin{align}\label{main_eq} \mathcal{P}_s u:= \left[i\partial_t + \ffl{s}{}\right]u = 0, &\;\; (x,t)\in\RR\times(0,+\infty), \end{align} with highly oscillatory initial datum \begin{align}\label{in_dat} u(x,0) = u_{\textrm{\small in}}(x) e^{i\frac{\xi_0}{\varepsilon} x}:=u_0(x),\;\;\; \xi_0\in\RR. \end{align} In (\ref{main_eq}), $\ffl{s}{}$ is…

#### Control of the semi-discrete 1D heat equation under nonnegative control constraint

PDF version…  |   Download Code… 1 Introduction In the post IpOpt and AMPL use to solve time optimal control problems, we explain how to use IpOpt and AMPL in order to solve control problems with control constraints and possibly some state constraints. In the present post, we are going to present a numerical development in order…
