Exact boundary observability for quasilinear hyperbolic systems

Tatsien Li (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

By means of a direct and constructive method based on the theory of semi-global C1 solution, the local exact boundary observability is established for one-dimensional first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with general nonlinear boundary conditions. An implicit duality between the exact boundary controllability and the exact boundary observability is then shown in the quasilinear case.

Exact boundary synchronization for a coupled system of 1-D wave equations

Tatsien Li, Bopeng Rao, Long Hu (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Several kinds of exact synchronizations and the generalized exact synchronization are introduced for a coupled system of 1-D wave equations with various boundary conditions and we show that these synchronizations can be realized by means of some boundary controls.

Exact controllability in fluid – solid structure: The Helmholtz model

Jean-Pierre Raymond, Muthusamy Vanninathan (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A model representing the vibrations of a fluid-solid coupled structure is considered. Following Hilbert Uniqueness Method (HUM) introduced by Lions, we establish exact controllability results for this model with an internal control in the fluid part and there is no control in the solid part. Novel features which arise because of the coupling are pointed out. It is a source of difficulty in the proof of observability inequalities, definition of weak solutions and the proof of controllability...

Exact controllability of a multilayer Rao-Nakra plate with clamped boundary conditions

Scott W. Hansen, Oleg Imanuvilov (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Exact controllability results for a multilayer plate system are obtained from the method of Carleman estimates. The multilayer plate system is a natural multilayer generalization of a classical three-layer “sandwich plate” system due to Rao and Nakra. The multilayer version involves a number of Lamé systems for plane elasticity coupled with a scalar Kirchhoff plate equation. The plate is assumed to be either clamped or hinged and controls are assumed to be locally distributed in a neighborhood...

Exact controllability of a pluridimensional coupled problem.

Serge Nicaise (1992)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We set a coupled boundary value problem between two domains of different dimension. The first one is the unit cube of Rn, n C [2,3], with a crack and the second one is the crack. this problem comes from Ciarlet et al. (1989), that obtained an analogous coupled problem. We show that the solution has singularities due to the crack. As in Grisvard (1989), we adapt the Hilbert uniqueness method of J.-L. Lions (1968,1988) in order to obtain the exact controllability of the associated wave equation with...

Exact controllability of an elastic membrane coupled with a potential fluid

Scott Hansen (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We consider the problem of boundary control of an elastic system with coupling to a potential equation. The potential equation represents the linearized motions of an incompressible inviscid fluid in a cavity bounded in part by an elastic membrane. Sufficient control is placed on a portion of the elastic membrane to insure that the uncoupled membrane is exactly controllable. The main result is that if the density of the fluid is sufficiently small, then the coupled system is exactly controllable....
