Control Strategies for Multi-Species Wasserstein Gradient Flows
Abstract
We stabilize stationary states of coupled multi-species McKean--Vlasov equations by feedback control, extending a spectral approach based on the Wasserstein Hessian and a Riccati equation from a single density to a product of Wasserstein spaces. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for local exponential stabilization at a prescribed rate when only one species is actuated, together with the minimum number of control inputs required. For two species, the condition reduces to a rank condition on the Fourier coefficients of the cross-interaction kernel over the eigenspaces of the unactuated species' linearized dynamics. A two-community noisy Kuramoto model and a cell-sorting model illustrate the results.
