Résumé
This lecture is devoted to address the problem of controlling uncertain systems submitted to parametrized perturbations. We introduce the notion of averaged control according to which the average of the states with respect to the uncertainty parameter is the quantity of interest. We observe that this property is equivalent to a suitable averaged observability one according to which the initial datum of the uncertain dynamics is to be determined by means of averages of the observations done. We will first discuss this property in the context of finite-dimensional systems to later consider Partial Differential Equations, mainly, of wave and parabolic nature. As we shall see, surprisingly, the averaging process with respect to the unknown parameter may lead a change of type ion the PDE under consideration from hyperbolic to parabolic, for instance, significantly affecting the expected control theoretical properties. We will also present some open problems and perspectives of future developments.
