On the controllability and stabilization of the linearized Benjamin-Ono equation

Felipe Linares, Jaime H. Ortega (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this work we are interested in the study of controllability and stabilization of the linearized Benjamin-Ono equation with periodic boundary conditions, which is a generic model for the study of weakly nonlinear waves with nonlocal dispersion. It is well known that the Benjamin-Ono equation has infinite number of conserved quantities, thus we consider only controls acting in the equation such that the volume of the solution is conserved. We study also the stabilization with a feedback law which...

On the controllability of fractional dynamical systems

Krishnan Balachandran, Jayakumar Kokila (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper is concerned with the controllability of linear and nonlinear fractional dynamical systems in finite dimensional spaces. Sufficient conditions for controllability are obtained using Schauder's fixed point theorem and the controllability Grammian matrix which is defined by the Mittag-Leffler matrix function. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theory.

On the controllability of the 1-D isentropic Euler equation

Olivier Glass (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the controllability problem for the one-dimensional Euler isentropic system, both in Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates, by means of boundary controls, in the context of weak entropy solutions. We give a sufficient condition on the initial and final states under which the first one can be steered to the latter.

On the controllability of the Burger equation

T. Horsin (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present here a return method to describe some attainable sets on an interval of the classical Burger equation by means of the variation of the domain.

On the controllability of the Laplace equation observed on an interior curve.

A. Osses, J.-P. Puel (1998)

Revista Matemática Complutense

The boundary approximate controllability of the Laplace equation observed on an interior curve is studied in this paper. First we consider the Laplace equation with a bounded potential. The Lp (1 < p < ∞) approximate controllability is established and controls of Lp-minimal norm are built by duality. At this point, a general result which clarifies the relationship between this duality approach and the classical optimal control theory is given. The results are extended to the Lp (1≤...

On the convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter

Jan Mandel, Loren Cobb, Jonathan D. Beezley (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

Convergence of the ensemble Kalman filter in the limit for large ensembles to the Kalman filter is proved. In each step of the filter, convergence of the ensemble sample covariance follows from a weak law of large numbers for exchangeable random variables, the continuous mapping theorem gives convergence in probability of the ensemble members, and L p bounds on the ensemble then give L p convergence.

On the convergence of the wavelet-Galerkin method for nonlinear filtering

Łukasz D. Nowak, Monika Pasławska-Południak, Krystyna Twardowska (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The aim of the paper is to examine the wavelet-Galerkin method for the solution of filtering equations. We use a wavelet biorthogonal basis with compact support for approximations of the solution. Then we compute the Zakai equation for our filtering problem and consider the implicit Euler scheme in time and the Galerkin scheme in space for the solution of the Zakai equation. We give theorems on convergence and its rate. The method is numerically much more efficient than the classical Galerkin method....

On the cost of null-control of an artificial advection-diffusion problem

Pierre Cornilleau, Sergio Guerrero (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we study the null-controllability of an artificial advection-diffusion system in dimension n. Using a spectral method, we prove that the control cost goes to zero exponentially when the viscosity vanishes and the control time is large enough. On the other hand, we prove that the control cost tends to infinity exponentially when the viscosity vanishes and the control time is small enough.
