This paper is concerned with the constrained approximate null controllability of heat equation coupled by a real matrix $P$, where the controls are impulsive and periodically acted into the system through a series of real matrices $\{Q_k\}_{k=1}^\hbar$. The conclusions are given in two cases. In the case that the controls act globally into the system, we prove that the system is global constrained approximate null controllable under a spectral condition of $P$ together with a rank condition of $P$ and $\{Q_k\}_{k=1}^\hbar$; While in the case that the controls act locally into the system, we prove the global constrained approximate null controllability under a stronger condition for $P$ and the same rank condition as the above case. Moreover, we prove that the above mentioned spectral condition of $P$ is necessary for global constrained approximate null controllability of the control problem considered in this paper.
In this article, we are discussing a more vital concept of controllability, termed total controllability. We have considered a nonlocal semilinear functional evolution equations with non-instantaneous impulses and finite delay in Hilbert spaces. A set of sufficient conditions of total controllability is obtained for the evolution system under consideration, by imposing the theory of C_0-semigroup and Banach fixed point theorem. We also established the total controllability results for a functional integro-differential equation. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the feasibility of der…
The semilinear heat equation with non-instantaneous impulses \textbf{(NII)}, memory, and delay is considered and its approximate controllability is obtained. This is done by employing a technique that avoids fixed point theorems and pulls back the control solution to a fixed curve in a short time interval. We demonstrate, once again, that the controllability of the system is robust under the influence of non-instantaneous impulses, memory, and delays. Finally, we present some open problems and a possible general framework to study the controllability of non-instantaneous impulses semilinear sy…
The main purpose of this paper is to prove the controllability of the model proposed by Lazer and Mckenna under the influence of impulses, delay, and non-local conditions. First, we study approximate controllability by employing a technique that pulls back the control solution to a fixed curve in a short time interval. Subsequently, based on Banach Fixed Point Theorem we investigate the exact controllability.
This paper studies the stabilization for a kind of linear and impulse control systems in finite-dimensional spaces, where impulse instants appear periodically. We present several characterizations on the stabilization; show how to design feedback laws; and provide locations for impulse instants to ensure the stabilization. In the proofs of these results, we set up a discrete LQ problem; derived a discrete dynamic programming principle, built up a variant of Riccati's equation; applied repeatedly the Kalman controllability decomposition; and used a controllability result built up in [17].
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 article investigates the approximate controllability of second order non-autonomous functional evolution equations involving non-instantaneous impulses and nonlocal conditions. First, we discuss the approximate controllability of second order linear system in detail, which lacks in the existing literature. Then, we derive sufficient conditions for approximate controllability of our system in separable reflexive Banach spaces via linear evolution operator, resolvent operator conditions, and Schauder's fixed point theorem. Moreover, in this paper, we define proper identification of resolven…
We establish the null controllability for linear stochastic fourth order parabolic equations. Utilizing the duality argument, the null controllability is reduced to the observability for backward fourth order stochastic parabolic equations, and the desired observability estimate is obtained by a new global Carleman estimate. Our Carleman estimate is based on a new fundamental identity for a stochastic fourth order parabolic operator.
For a class of linear time-delay control systems satisfying the property of completability of the generalized eigenvectors we prove that the problems of complete stabilizability and exact null controllability are equivalent.
This paper is devoted to the controllability of a general linear hyperbolic system in one space dimension using boundary controls on one side. Under precise and generic assumptions on the boundary conditions on the other side, we previously established the optimal time for the null and the exact controllability for this system for a generic source term. In this work, we prove the null-controllability for any time greater than the optimal time and for any source term. Similar results for the exact controllability are also discussed.
This paper studies reachability and null-controllability for difference inclusions involving convex processes. Such difference inclusions arise, for instance, in the study of linear discrete-time systems whose inputs and/or states are constrained to lie within a convex cone. After developing a geometric framework for convex processes relying on invariance properties, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for both reachability and null-controllability in terms of the spectrum of dual processes.
This paper deals with the problem of internal null-controllability of a heat equation posed on a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions and perturbed by a semilinear nonlocal term. We prove the small-time local null-controllability of the equation. The proof relies on two main arguments. First, we establish the small-time local null-controllability of a $2 \times 2$ reaction-diffusion system, where the second equation is governed by the parabolic operator $τ\partial_t - σΔ$, $τ, σ> 0$. More precisely, this controllability result is obtained uniformly with respect to the parameters $…
We study the minimum energy null-controllability problem for differential equations with point-wise delays. For the equations of both neutral and retarded type we reduce the problem of finding the optimal control to a Volterra integral equation and solve it explicitly. We prove that for any initial state and any controllability time the corresponding optimal control belongs to the characteristic space generated by the equation's exponentials. Besides, we show that the proposed approach can be applied to the systems of retarded equations with one delay term.
In this paper, we establish some important results for the impulsive wave equation. We begin by proving the existence of a solution. Then, we study the impulse approximate controllability where the control function acts on a subdomain $ω$ and at one instant of time $τ\in (0, T)$. Afterward, we study impulse observability
The main objective of this paper is to establish the null controllability for the fourth order semilinear parabolic equations with the nonlinearities involving the state and its gradient up to second order. First of all, based on optimal control theory of partial differential equations and global Carleman estimates obtained in \cite{gs} for fourth order parabolic equation with $L^2(Q)$-external force, we establish the global Carleman estimates for the $L^2(Q)$ weak solutions of the same system with a low regularity external term and some linear terms including the derivatives of the state up t…
In this paper, we establish two Carleman estimates for a stochastic degenerate parabolic equation. The first one is for the backward stochastic degenerate parabolic equation with singular weight function. Combining this Carleman estimate and an approximate argument, we prove the null controllability of the forward stochastic degenerate parabolic equation with the gradient term. The second one is for the forward stochastic degenerate parabolic equation with regular weighted function, based on which we obtain the Lipschitz stability for an inverse problem of determining a random source depending…
In this paper, we consider a null controllability and an inverse source problem for stochastic Grushin equation with boundary degeneracy and singularity. We construct two special weight functions to establish two Carleman estimates for the whole stochastic Grushin operator with singular potential by a weighted identity method. One is for the backward stochastic Grushin equation with singular weight function. We then apply it to prove the null controllability for stochastic Grushin equation for any $T$ and any degeneracy $γ>0$, when our control domain touches the degeneracy line $\{x=0\}$. In o…
Given a linear control system in a Hilbert space with a bounded control operator, we establish a characterization of exponential stabilizability in terms of an observability inequality. Such dual characterizations are well known for exact (null) controllability. Our approach exploits classical Fenchel duality arguments and, in turn, leads to characterizations in terms of observability inequalities of approximately null controllability and of $α$-null controllability. We comment on the relationships between those various concepts, at the light of the observability inequalities that characterize…
In this paper we study the null controllability of some non diagonalizable degenerate parabolic systems of PDEs, we assume that the diffusion, coupling and controls matrices are constant and we characterize the null controllability by an algebraic condition so called \textit{Kalman's rank} condition.
In this paper, we apply the hierarchical strategy to a semilinear weakly degenerate parabolic equation involving a gradient term. We use the Stackelberg-Nash strategy with one leader which tries to drive the solution to zero and two followers intended to solve a Nash equilibrium corresponding to a bi-objective optimal control problem. Since the system is semilinear, the functionals are not convex in general. To overcome this difficulty, we first prove the existence and uniqueness of the Nash quasi-equilibrium, which is a weaker formulation of the Nash equilibrium. Next, with additional conditi…
