Insensitizing controls for linear ODE's

Abstract

In this paper we present some results regarding insensitizing controls for finite dimensional systems. The concept was introduced by J. L. Lions in the context of partial differential equations and, as far as we know, is a problem that has not been treated in literature for ordinary differential equations. The concept in this situation arises in a natural way when treating the semidiscrete one for the heat equation. We present some results in the linear framework.
