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 dynamic behavior and stability of controlled connected Rayleigh beams under pointwise output feedback

Bao-Zhu Guo, Jun-Min Wang, Cui-Lian Zhou (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the dynamic behavior and stability of two connected Rayleigh beams that are subject to, in addition to two sensors and two actuators applied at the joint point, one of the actuators also specially distributed along the beams. We show that with the distributed control employed, there is a set of generalized eigenfunctions of the closed-loop system, which forms a Riesz basis with parenthesis for the state space. Then both the spectrum-determined growth condition and exponential stability...

On the Fattorini criterion for approximate controllability and stabilizability of parabolic systems

Mehdi Badra, Takéo Takahashi (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we consider the well-known Fattorini’s criterion for approximate controllability of infinite dimensional linear systems of type y′ = Ay + Bu. We precise the result proved by Fattorini in [H.O. Fattorini, SIAM J. Control 4 (1966) 686–694.] for bounded input B, in the case where B can be unbounded or in the case of finite-dimensional controls. More precisely, we prove that if Fattorini’s criterion is satisfied and if the set of geometric multiplicities of A is bounded then approximate...

On the null-controllability of diffusion equations

Gérald Tenenbaum, Marius Tucsnak (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This work studies the null-controllability of a class of abstract parabolic equations. The main contribution in the general case consists in giving a short proof of an abstract version of a sufficient condition for null-controllability which has been proposed by Lebeau and Robbiano. We do not assume that the control operator is admissible. Moreover, we give estimates of the control cost. In the special case of the heat equation in rectangular domains, we provide an alternative way to check...

On the topological structure of the solution set for a semilinear ffunctional-differential inclusion in a Banach space

Giuseppe Conti, Valeri Obukhovskiĭ, Pietro Zecca (1996)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we show that the set of all mild solutions of the Cauchy problem for a functional-differential inclusion in a separable Banach space E of the form x’(t) ∈ A(t)x(t) + F(t,xt) is an R δ -set. Here A(t) is a family of linear operators and F is a Carathéodory type multifunction. We use the existence result proved by V. V. Obukhovskiĭ [22] and extend theorems on the structure of solutions sets obtained by N. S. Papageorgiou [23] and Ya. I. Umanskiĭ [32].

On the well-posedness and regularity of the wave equation with variable coefficients

Bao-Zhu Guo, Zhi-Xiong Zhang (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An open-loop system of a multidimensional wave equation with variable coefficients, partial boundary Dirichlet control and collocated observation is considered. It is shown that the system is well-posed in the sense of D. Salamon and regular in the sense of G. Weiss. The Riemannian geometry method is used in the proof of regularity and the feedthrough operator is explicitly computed.

On time optimal control of the wave equation, its regularization and optimality system

Karl Kunisch, Daniel Wachsmuth (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An approximation procedure for time optimal control problems for the linear wave equation is analyzed. Its asymptotic behavior is investigated and an optimality system including the maximum principle and the transversality conditions for the regularized and unregularized problems are derived.

Optimal control of systems determined by strongly nonlinear operator valued measures

N.U. Ahmed (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a class of distributed parameter systems (partial differential equations) determined by strongly nonlinear operator valued measures in the setting of the Gelfand triple V ↪ H ↪ V* with continuous and dense embeddings where H is a separable Hilbert space and V is a reflexive Banach space with dual V*. The system is given by dx + A(dt,x) = f(t,x)γ(dt) + B(t)u(dt), x(0) = ξ, t ∈ I ≡ [0,T] where A is a strongly nonlinear operator valued measure...
