In this paper we explore the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) to calibrate seasonal BVAR models. In this way, the mechanistic use of seasonal adjustment procedures is avoided, since seasonality becomes a structural, basic and explicit part of the BVAR model. At the same time, the use of GA allows...

We present several results on exact controllability for linear and nonlinear parabolic equations, both when the distributed control is acting linearly or nonlinearly on the whole domain. As a very particular case, we extend some recent works by means of a simpler constructive approach....
