This paper deals with the exponential stability of systems made of a hyperbolic PDE coupled with an ODE with different time scales, the dynamics of the PDE being much faster than that of the ODE. Such a difference of time scales is modeled though a small parameter ε multiplying the time derivative in the PDE, and our stability analysis relies on th...

This paper concerns some spectral properties of the scalar dynamical system defined by a linear delay-differential equation with two positive delays. More precisely, the existing links between the delays and the maximal multiplicity of the characteristic roots are explored, as well as the dominance of such roots compared with the spectrum localizat...

It is well known that rational approximation theory involves degenerate hyperge-ometric functions and, in particular, the Padé approximation of the exponential function is closely related to Kummer hypergeometric functions. Recently, in the context of the study of the exponential stability of the trivial solution of delay-differential equations, a...

In this paper, we consider a mean field game model inspired by crowd motion where agents aim to reach a closed set, called target set, in minimal time. Congestion phenomena are modeled through a constraint on the velocity of an agent that depends on the average density of agents around their position. The model is considered in the presence of stat...

The paper deals with the controllability of finite-dimensional linear difference delay equations, i.e., dynamics for which the state at a given time $t$ is obtained as a linear combination of the control evaluated at time $t$ and of the state evaluated at finitely many previous instants of time $t-\Lambda_1,\dots,t-\Lambda_N$. Based on the realizat...

This paper focuses on the problem of multiplicity induced dominancy (MID) for a class of linear time-invariant systems represented by delay-differential equations. If the problem of generic MID was characterized in terms of properties of the roots of Kummer hypergeometric functions, the case of intermediate MID is still an open problem. The aim of...

Consider a non-autonomous continuous-time linear system in which the time-dependent matrix determining the dynamics is piecewise constant and takes finitely many values $A_1, \dotsc, A_N$.

In this paper, we consider a first-order deterministic mean field game model inspired by crowd motion in which agents moving in a given domain aim to reach a given target set in minimal time. To model interaction between agents, we assume that the maximal speed of an agent is bounded as a function of their position and the distribution of other age...

It has been observed in recent works that, for several classes of linear time-invariant time-delay systems of retarded or neutral type with a single delay, if a root of its characteristic equation attains its maximal multiplicity, then this root is the rightmost spectral value, and hence it determines the exponential behavior of the system, a prope...

For a class of linear switched systems in continuous time a controllability condition implies that state feedbacks allow to achieve almost sure stabilization with arbitrary exponential decay rates. This is based on the Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem applied to an associated system in discrete time. This result is related to the stabilizability prob...

This paper is concerned with a class of coupled ODE/PDE systems with two time scales. The fast constant time scale is modeled by a small positive perturbation parameter. First, we state a general sufficient stability condition for such systems. This condition is also sufficient for the stability of the reduced and boundary-layer subsystems. However...

In this paper we address the exponential stability of a system of transport equations with intermittent damping on a network of $N \geq 2$ circles intersecting at a single point $O$. The $N$ equations are coupled through a linear mixing of their values at $O$, described by a matrix $M$. The activity of the intermittent damping is determined by pers...

In this paper, we study the relative controllability of linear difference equations with multiple delays in the state by using a suitable formula for the solutions of such systems in terms of their initial conditions, their control inputs, and some matrix-valued coefficients obtained recursively from the matrices defining the system. Thanks to such...

In this paper, we address the stability of non-autonomous difference equations by providing an explicit formula expressing the solution at time $t$ in terms of the initial condition and time-dependent matrix coefficients. We then relate the asymptotic behavior of such coefficients to that of solutions. As a consequence, we obtain necessary and suff...

This paper considers the stabilization to the origin of a persistently excited linear system by means of a linear state feedback, where we suppose that the feedback law is not applied instantaneously, but after a certain positive delay (not necessarily constant). The main result is that, under certain spectral hypotheses on the linear system, stabi...

The first section of the chapter deals with finite-dimensional systems and gives two main results on stabilization, concerning neutrally stable systems and systems whose eigenvalues all have non-positive real parts. It also presents a result stati...
