Microlocal analysis, Control for Partial Differential Equations

 I am currently interested in understanding how the local information (control region) of  PDEs propagate, in order to influence the dynamics of the equation.  For hyperbolic and dispersive waves, this is related to the propagation of singularities, and the basic tool is the microlocal (semi-classical) analysis.

Remark: This manuscript is a chapter of my PhD thesis and is a natural supplementary of the controllability for the KP-II paper. The result is truth worthy, but for some reason, I intend not to publish it in a journal.

Nonlinear dispersive equations

Random data theory for nonlinear dispersive equations

There are two main motivations of studying the random data theory for dispersive equations. The first one is to provide a macroscopic description of the flow of Hamiltonian systems (in the infinite-dimensional space).  The second one, from the PDE viewpoint, is to extend the Cauchy-theory for generically ill-posed data.

Remark: A full proof of $G_{\delta}$ dense structure of the pathological set is contained in the updated arXiv version. A better understanding of this type of strong ill-posedness  is recently achieved by  Camps-Gassot where they proved the result for NLS.
