Abstract:

We consider a port-Hamiltonian system on an open spatial domain \begin{document}$\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$\end{document} with bounded Lipschitz boundary. We show that there is a boundary triple associated to this system. Hence, we can characterize all boundary conditions that provide unique solutions that are non-increasing in the Hamiltonian. As a by-product we develop the theory of quasi Gelfand triples. Adding "natural" boundary controls and boundary observations yields scattering/impedance passive boundary control systems. This framework will be applied to the wave equation, Maxwell's equations and Mindlin plate model. Probably, there are even more applications.

Abstract:
This special volume of Evolution Equations and Control Theory commemorates the results presented at a mini-symposium on Analysis and Control of Fluid Models and Flow-coupled Systems" in December 2015. This meeting was part of the SIAM Conference on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations, held December 7--10, 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona at the DoubleTree Resort by Hilton in Paradise Valley. The mini-symposium was organized by the Editors: Marcelo Disconzi, Irena Lasiecka, Daniel Toundykov, and Justin Webster.

Abstract:
Over the last 12--15 years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the study of nonlinear acoustic phenomena. Using the tools of both classical mathematical analysis and computational physics, researchers have obtained a wide range of new results, some of which might be described as remarkable. As with almost all trends in science, the reasons for this revival are varied: they range from practical applications (e.g., the need to improve our understanding of high-intensity ultrasound); to the development of numerical schemes which are better at capturing the physics of nonlinear compressible flow; to new acoustic models which lend themselves to study by analytical methods.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to highlight some recent developments and outcomes in the mathematical analysis of partial differential equations describing nonlinear sound propagation. Here the emphasis lies on well-posedness and decay results, first of all for the classical models of nonlinear acoustics, later on also for some higher order models. Besides quoting results, we also try to give an idea on their derivation by showning some of the crucial energy estimates. A section is devoted to optimization problems arising in the practical use of high intensity ultrasound.
While this review puts a certain focus on results obtained in the context of the mentioned FWF project, we also provide some important additional references (although certainly not all of them) for interesting further reading.

Abstract:
In this paper, we establish the solvability of martingale solutions for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with Itô-Lévy noise in bounded and unbounded domains in $\mathbb{R} ^d$,$d=2,3.$ The tightness criteria for the laws of a sequence of semimartingales is obtained from a theorem of Rebolledo as formulated by Metivier for the Lusin space valued processes. The existence of martingale solutions (in the sense of Stroock and Varadhan) relies on a generalization of Minty-Browder technique to stochastic case obtained from the local monotonicity of the drift term.

Abstract:
The present Inaugural Volume is the first Issue of a new journal Evolution Equations and Control Theory [EECT], which is published within the AIMS Series. EECT is devoted to topics lying at the interface between Evolution Equations and Control Theory of Dynamics. Evolution equations are to be understood in a broad sense as Infinite Dimensional Dynamics which often arise in modeling physical systems as an infinite-dimensional process. This includes single PDE (Partial Differential Equations) or FDE (Functional Differential Equations) as well as coupled dynamics of different characteristics with an interface between them. Since modern control theory intrinsically depends on a good understanding of the qualitative theory of dynamics and evolution theory, the choice of these two topics appears synergistic and most natural. Past experience shows that new developments in control theory often depend on sufficient information related to the associated dynamical properties of the system. On the other hand, developments in evolution theory allow one to consider certain control theoretic formulations that alone would not appear treatable.
