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...

We study the local exact controllability problem for the Navier-Stokes equations that describe an incompressible fluid flow in a bounded domain $\Omega$ with control distributed in a subdomain $\omega \subset \Omega \subset {ℝ}^n,n\in \{2,3\}$. The result that we obtained in this paper is as follows. Suppose that $\widehat{v}(t,x)$ is a given solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Let $v_0\left(x\right)$ be a given initial condition and $\parallel \widehat{v}(0,·)-v_0\parallel \<\epsilon$ where $\epsilon$ is small enough. Then there exists a locally distributed control $u,\text{supp}u\subset (0,T)\times \omega$ such that the solution $v(t,x)$ of the Navier-Stokes equations: $${\partial }_{t}v-\Delta v+(v,\nabla )v=\nabla p+u+f,\text{div}v=0,v{{|}_{\partial \Omega }=0,v|}_{t=0}=v_0$$ ...

In this paper we deal with the null controllability problem for the heat equation with a memory term by means of boundary controls. For each positive final time and when the control is acting on the whole boundary, we prove that there exists a set of initial conditions such that the null controllability property fails.

In this paper, we establish Carleman estimates for the two dimensional isotropic non-stationary Lamé system with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and the stability in determining spatially varying density and two Lamé coefficients by a single measurement of solution over $(0,T)\times \omega$, where $T\&gt;0$ is a sufficiently large time interval and a subdomain $\omega$ satisfies a non-trapping condition.

In this paper we established the Carleman estimate for the two dimensional Lamé system with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this estimate we proved the exact controllability result for the Lamé system with with a control locally distributed over a subdomain which satisfies to a certain type of nontrapping conditions.

In this paper, we establish Carleman estimates for the two dimensional isotropic non-stationary Lamé system with the zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using this estimate, we prove the uniqueness and the stability in determining spatially varying density and two Lamé coefficients by a single measurement of solution over (0,) x ω, where is a sufficiently large time interval and a subdomain satisfies a non-trapping condition.
