The paper is devoted to the exact controllability of a system of coupled abstract wave equations when the control is exerted on a part of the boundary by means of one control. We give a Kalman type condition and give a description of the attainable set.
We consider a degenerate wave equation with drift in presence of a leading operator which is not in divergence form. We provide some conditions for the boundary controllability of the associated Cauchy problem.
In this paper, we consider the exact boundary controllability and the exact boundary synchronization (by groups) for a coupled system of wave equations with coupled Robin boundary controls. Owing to the difficulty coming from the lack of regularity of the solution, we confront a bigger challenge than that in the case with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary controls. In order to overcome this difficulty, we use the regularity results of solutions to the mixed problem with Neumann boundary conditions by Lasiecka and Triggiani to get the regularity of solutions to the mixed problem with coupled Robin …
We study the boundary exact controllability for the quasilinear wave equation in the higher-dimensional case. Our main tool is the geometric analysis. We derive the existence of long time solutions near an equilibrium, prove the locally exact controllability around the equilibrium under some checkable geometrical conditions. We then establish the globally exact controllability in such a way that the state of the quasilinear wave equation moves from an equilibrium in one location to an equilibrium in another location under some geometrical condition. The Dirichlet action and the Neumann action …
Carleman estimate for full-discrete approximations of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with dynamic boundary conditions and applications to controllability
In this paper we introduce some new concepts for second-order hyperbolic equations: two-point boundary value problem, global exact controllability and exact controllability. For several kinds of important linear and nonlinear wave equations arising from physics and geometry, we prove the existence of smooth solutions of the two-point boundary value problems and show the global exact controllability of these wave equations. In particular, we investigate the two-point boundary value problem for one-dimensional wave equation defined on a closed curve and prove the existence of smooth solution whi…
We propose a model using the Korteweg-de Vries $(KdV)$ equation on a finite star-shaped network. We first prove the well-posedness of the system and give some regularity results. Then we prove that the energy of the solutions of the dissipative system decays exponentially to zero when the time tends to infinity. Lastly we show an exact boundary controllability result.
In this paper, we consider the Stokes equations in a two-dimen- sional channel with periodic conditions in the direction of the channel. We establish null controllability of this system using a boundary control which acts on the normal component of the velocity only. We show null controllability of the system, subject to a constraint of zero average, by proving an observability inequality with the help of a Muntz-Szasz Theorem.
This paper is devoted to prove the exact controllability of a system of N one-dimensional coupled wave equations when the control is exerted on a part of the boundary by means of one control. We consider the case where the coupling matrix A has distinct eigenvalues. We give a Kalman condition (necessary and sufficient) and give a description, non-optimal in general, of the attainable set.
We prove the null controllability of a one dimensional degenerate parabolic equation with drift and a singular potential. We study the case the potential arises at the left end point and the weighted Dirichlet boundary control is located at this point. We get a spectral decomposition of a suitable operator, defined in a weighted Sobolev space, involving Bessel functions and their zeros, then we use the moment method by Fattorini and Russell to obtain an upper estimate of the cost of controllability. We also obtain a lower estimate of the cost of controllability by using a representation theore…
The problem of the exact bounded control of oscillations of the two-dimensional wave equation is considered. Control force is applied to the boundary of the membrane, which is located in a domain on a plane. The goal of the control is to drive the system to rest in a finite time.
We consider the heat equation with dynamic bounary conditions involving gradient terms in a bounded domain. In this paper we study the cost of approximate controllability for this equation. Combining new developed Carleman estimates and some optimization techniques, we obtain explicit bounds of the minimal norm control. We consider the linear and the semilinear cases.
We study the boundary controllability problem for a multilayer Rao-Nakra sandwich beam. This beam model consists of a Rayleigh beam coupled with a number of wave equations. We consider all combinations of clamped and hinged boundary conditions with the control applied to either the moment or the rotation angle at an end of the beam. We prove that exact controllability holds provided the damping parameter is sufficiently small. In the undamped case, exact controllability holds without any restriction on the parameters in the system. In each case, optimal control time is obtained in the space of…
In this paper, we investigate the two-point boundary value problems for linear wave equation defined on a circle and prove that the equation possesses the exact controllability. We also investigate the two-point boundary value problems for the wave equation defined on a strip with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions and show that the equation still possesses the exact controllability. see arXiv:0910.5782v1
We address the problem of controllability of the MHD system in a rectangular domain with a control prescribed on the side boundary. We identify a necessary and sufficient condition on the data to be null controllable, i.e., can be driven to the zero state. We also show that the validity of this condition allows the states to be stirred to each other. If the condition is not satisfied, one can move from one state to another with the help of a simple shear external magnetic force.
We analyze controllability properties for the one-dimensional heat equation with singular inverse-square potential $$ u_t-u_{xx}-\fracμ{x^2}u=0,\;\;\; (x,t)\in(0,1)\times(0,T).$$ For any $μ<1/4$, we prove that the equation is null controllable through a boundary control $f\in H^1(0,T)$ acting at the singularity point $x=0$. This result is obtained employing the moment method by Fattorini and Russell.
Let $Ω\subset\mathbb R^N$ be a bounded open set with Lipschitz continuous boundary $Γ$. Let $γ>0$, $δ\ge 0$ be real numbers and $β$ a nonnegative measurable function in $L^\infty(Γ)$. Using some suitable Carleman estimates, we show that the linear heat equation $\partial_tu - γΔu = 0$ in $Ω\times(0,T)$ with the non-homogeneous general dynamic boundary conditions $\partial_tu_Γ -δΔ_Γu_Γ+ γ\partial_νu + βu_Γ = g$ on $Γ\times(0,T)$ is always null controllable from the boundary for every $T>0$ and initial data $(u_0,u_{Γ,0})\in L^2(Ω)\times L^2(Γ)$.
The paper deals with the controllability of a degenerate beam equation. In particular, we assume that the left end of the beam is fixed, while a suitable control $f$ acts on the right end of it. As a first step we prove the existence of a solution for the homogeneous problem, then we prove some estimates on its energy. Thanks to them we prove an observability inequality and, using the notion of solution by transposition, we prove that the initial problem is null controllable.
We obtain sharp convergence rates, using Dirichlet correctors, for solutions of wave equations in a bounded domain with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients. The results are used to prove the exact boundary controllability that is uniform in $ε$ - the scale of the microstructure, for the projection of solutions to the subspace generated by the eigenfunctions with eigenvalues less that $Cε^{-1/2}$.
The aim of this work is to show the local null controllability of a fluid-solid interaction system by using a distributed control located in the fluid. The fluid is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes system with Navier slip boundary conditions and the rigid body is governed by the Newton laws. Our main result yields that we can drive the velocities of the fluid and of the structure to 0 and we can control exactly the position of the rigid body. One important ingredient consists in a new Carleman estimate for a linear fluid-rigid body system with Navier boundary conditions. This work i…
In this paper we prove that the Ball-Marsden-Slemrod controllability obstruction also holds for nonlinear equations, with integrable bilinear controls. We first show an abstract result and then we apply it to nonlinear wave equations. The first application to the Sine-Gordon equation directly follows from the abstract result, and the second application concerns the cubic wave/Klein-Gordon equation and needs some additional work.
We consider the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equation with bilinear control. In the case of Neumann boundary conditions, local exact controllability of this equation near the ground state has been proved by Beauchard and Laurent in arXiv:1001.3288. In this paper, we study the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions. To establish the controllability of the linearised equation, we use a bilinear control acting through four directions: three Fourier modes and one generic direction. The Fourier modes are appropriately chosen so that they satisfy a saturation property. These modes allow to control approx…
We consider nxn hyperbolic systems of balance laws in one-space dimension under the assumption that all negative (resp. positive) characteristics are linearly degenerate. We prove the local exact one-sided boundary null controllability of entropy solutions to this class of systems, which generalizes the corresponding results from the case without source terms to that with source terms. In order to apply the strategy used for conservation law, we essentially modify the constructive method by introducing two different kinds of approximate solutions to system in the forward sense and to the syste…
We prove null controllability for linear and semilinear heat equations with dynamic boundary conditions of surface diffusion type. The results are based on a new Carleman estimate for this type of boundary conditions.
In this paper, we recover the boundary null controllability for the degenerate heat equation by analyzing the asymptotic behavior of an eligible family of state-control pairs $((u_{\varepsilon}, h_{\varepsilon}))_{\varepsilon >0}$ solving corresponding singularly perturbed internal null controllability problems. As in other situations studied in the literature, our approach relies on Carleman estimates and meticulous weak convergence results. However, for the degenerate parabolic case, some specific trace operator inequalities must be obtained, in order to justify correctly the passage to the …
In this paper, we study the controllability of a Schrödinger equation with mixed boundary conditions on disjoint subsets of the boundary: dynamic boundary condition of Wentzell type, and Dirichlet boundary condition. The main result of this article is given by new Carleman estimates for the associated adjoint system, where the weight function is constructed specially adapted to the geometry of the domain. Using these estimates, we prove the exact controllability of the system with a boundary control acting only in the part of the boundary where the Dirichlet condition is imposed. Also, we obta…
In this paper, we study the local exact boundary controllability of entropy solutions to a class linearly degenerate hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with constant multiplicity. The authors prove the two-sided boundary controllability, one-sided boundary controllability and two-sided controllability with less controls, by applying the strategy used originally for classical solutions with essential modifications. Our constructive method is based on the well-posedness of semi-global solutions constructed by the limit of $ \e $-approximate front tracking solutions to the mixed initial-boun…
In this paper we discuss the controllability of two-point boundary value problem (TBVP) for one-dimensional wave equation. Some new concepts are introduced: TBVP input control problem, minimum-input solution (MS) and pre-minimum-input solution (PMS). We set the metric in $L^1$ and $L^2$ spaces on a closed set, and control the input to reach its minimum. And we mainly discuss the property of input, the existence and uniqueness of MS and PMS for $L^1$ and $L^2$ metric respectively. The minimum inputs lie on a strip in $L^1$ and PMS for $L^1$ and $L^2$ always exists. Furthermore, to construct PMS…
This article is devoted to the analysis of control properties for a heat equation with singular potential $μ/δ^2$, defined on a bounded $C^2$ domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, where $δ$ is the distance to the boundary function. More precisely, we show that for any $μ\leq 1/4$ the system is exactly null controllable using a distributed control located in any open subset of $Ω$, while for $μ>1/4$ there is no way of preventing the solutions of the equation from blowing-up. The result is obtained applying a new Carleman estimate.
In this paper we establish the theory on semiglobal classical solution to first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with a kind of nonlocal boundary conditions, and based on this, the corresponding exact boundary controllability and observability are obtained by a constructive method. Moreover, with the linearized Saint-Venant system and the 1-D linear wave equation as examples, we show that the number of both boundary controls and boundary observations can not be reduced, and consequently, we conclude that the exact boundary controllability for a hyperbolic system in a network with loop can …
The general theory on exact boundary controllability for general first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems requires that the characteristic speeds of system do not vanish. This paper deals with exact boundary controllability, when this is not the case. Some important models are also shown as applications of the main result. The strategy uses the return method, which allows in certain situations to recover non zero characteristic speeds.
In this paper, we study the indirect boundary stability and exact controllability of a one-dimensional Timoshenko system. In the first part of the paper, we consider the Timoshenko system with only one boundary fractional damping. We first show that the system is strongly stable but not uniformly stable. Hence, we look for a polynomial decay rate for smooth initial data. Using frequency domain arguments combined with the multiplier method, we prove that the energy decay rate depends on coefficients appearing in the PDE and on the order of the fractional damping. Moreover, under the equal speed…
In this paper, we deal with the boundary controllability and boundary stabilizability of the 1D wave equation in non-cylindrical domain of the form ($α(t)<x<β(t)$). By using the characteristics method, we prove under a natural assumption on the boundary functions that the 1D wave equation is controllable and stabilizable from one side of the boundary. Furthermore, the control function and the decay rate of solution are given explicitly
The main purpose of this article is to prove a logarithmic convexity estimate for the solution of a linear heat equation subject to dynamic boundary conditions in a bounded convex domain. As an application, we prove the impulsive null approximate controllability for an impulsive heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions.
This paper is devoted to study exact controllability of two one-dimensional coupled wave equations with first-order coupling terms with coefficients depending on space and time. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for both exact controllability in high frequency in the general case and the unique continuation in the cascade case.
An explicit saturating set consisting of eigenfunctions of Stokes operator in general 3D Cylinders is proposed. The existence of saturating sets implies the approximate controllability for Navier--Stokes equations in $\rm 3D$ Cylinders under Lions boundary conditions.
In this paper, we are concerned with the boundary controllability of heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions. More precisely, we prove that the equation is null controllable at any positive time by means of a boundary control supported on an arbitrary subboundary. The proof of the main result combines a new boundary Carleman estimate and some regularity estimates for the adjoint system, with an explicit dependence with respect to the final time. This technique allows us to overcome a new difficulty that arises when absorbing a normal derivative term.
We consider the linear Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation on a rectangle with a left Dirich-let boundary control. Using the flatness approach, we prove the null controllability of this equation and provide a space of analytic reachable states.
In this work, we investigate the small-time global exact controllability of the Navier-Stokes equation, both towards the null equilibrium state and towards weak trajectories. We consider a viscous incompressible fluid evolving within a smooth bounded domain, either in 2D or in 3D. The controls are only located on a small part of the boundary, intersecting all its connected components. On the remaining parts of the boundary, the fluid obeys a Navier slip-with-friction boundary condition. Even though viscous boundary layers appear near these uncontrolled boundaries, we prove that small-time glob…
In this paper, we study the exact boundary controllability of the linear fourth-order Schrödinger equation, with variable physical parameters and clamped boundary conditions on a bounded interval. The control acts on the first spatial derivative at the left endpoint. We prove that this control system is exactly controllable at any time $T>0$. The proofs are based on a detailed spectral analysis and on the use of nonharmonic Fourier series.
This paper deals with the hierarchical control of the anisotropic heat equation with dynamic boundary conditions and drift terms. We use the Stackelberg-Nash strategy with one leader and two followers. To each fixed leader, we find a Nash equilibrium corresponding to a bi-objective optimal control problem for the followers. Then, by some new Carleman estimates, we prove a null controllability result.

We prove controllability results for abstract systems of weakly coupled $N$ evolution equations in cascade by a reduced number of boundary or locally distributed controls ranging from a single up to $N-1$ controls. We give applications to cascade coupled systems of $N$ multi-dimensional-hyperbolic, parabolic and diffusive equations.
We study the wave equation in an interval with two linearly moving endpoints. We give the exact solution by a series formula, then we show that the energy of the solution decay at the rate $1/t$. We also establish observability results, at one or two endpoints, in a sharp time. Moreover, using the Hilbert uniqueness method, we derive exact boundary controllability results.
