Boundary control of the Maxwell dynamical system: lack of controllability by topological reasons

Mikhail Belishev, Aleksandr Glasman (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The paper deals with a boundary control problem for the Maxwell dynamical system in a bounbed domain Ω ⊂ R3. Let ΩT ⊂ Ω be the subdomain filled by waves at the moment T, T* the moment at which the waves fill the whole of Ω. The following effect occurs: for small enough T the system is approximately controllable in ΩT whereas for larger T < T* a lack of controllability is possible. The subspace of unreachable states is of finite dimension determined by topological characteristics of ΩT.

Boundary controllability in problems of transmission for a class of second order hyperbolic systems

J. E. Lagnese (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider transmission problems for general second order linear hyperbolic systems having piecewise constant coefficients in a bounded, open connected set with smooth boundary and controlled through the Dirichlet boundary condition. It is proved that such a system is exactly controllable in an appropriate function space provided the interfaces where the coefficients have a jump discontinuity are all star-shaped with respect to one and the same point and the coefficients satisfy a certain...

Boundary controllability of the finite-difference space semi-discretizations of the beam equation

Liliana León, Enrique Zuazua (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We propose a finite difference semi-discrete scheme for the approximation of the boundary exact controllability problem of the 1-D beam equation modelling the transversal vibrations of a beam with fixed ends. First of all we show that, due to the high frequency spurious oscillations, the uniform (with respect to the mesh-size) controllability property of the semi-discrete model fails in the natural functional setting. We then prove that there are two ways of restoring the uniform controllability...

Boundary exact controllability for a porous elastic Timoshenko system

Manoel J. Santos, Carlos A. Raposo, Leonardo R. S. Rodrigues (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional system governed by two partial differential equations. Such a system models phenomena in engineering, such as vibrations in beams or deformation of elastic bodies with porosity. By using the HUM method, we prove that the system is boundary exactly controllable in the usual energy space. We will also determine the minimum time allowed by the method for the controllability to occur.

Boundary feedback stabilization of a three-layer sandwich beam : Riesz basis approach

Jun-Min Wang, Bao-Zhu Guo, Boumediène Chentouf (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we consider the boundary stabilization of a sandwich beam which consists of two outer stiff layers and a compliant middle layer. Using Riesz basis approach, we show that there is a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions, which forms a Riesz basis in the state space. As a consequence, the spectrum-determined growth condition as well as the exponential stability of the closed-loop system are concluded. Finally, the well-posedness and regularity in the sense of Salamon-Weiss class as...

Boundary layer phenomenon for three -point boundary value problem for the nonlinear singularly perturbed systems

Robert Vrabel (2011)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the three-point boundary value problem for the nonlinear singularly perturbed second-order systems. Especially, we focus on an analysis of the solutions in the right endpoint of considered interval from an appearance of the boundary layer point of view. We use the method of lower and upper solutions combined with analysis of the integral equation associated with the class of nonlinear systems considered here.

Boundary observability for the space semi-discretizations of the 1 – d wave equation

Juan Antonio Infante, Enrique Zuazua (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider space semi-discretizations of the 1-d wave equation in a bounded interval with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We analyze the problem of boundary observability, i.e., the problem of whether the total energy of solutions can be estimated uniformly in terms of the energy concentrated on the boundary as the net-spacing h → 0. We prove that, due to the spurious modes that the numerical scheme introduces at high frequencies, there is no such a uniform bound. We prove however a...
