Uniform local null control of the Leray-α model

Fágner D. ArarunaEnrique Fernández-CaraDiego A. Souza — 2014

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with the distributed and boundary controllability of the so called Leray- model. This is a regularized variant of the Navier−Stokes system ( is a small positive parameter) that can also be viewed as a model for turbulent flows. We prove that the Leray- equations are locally null controllable, with controls bounded independently of . We also prove that, if the initial data are sufficiently small, the controls converge as → 0 to a null control of the Navier−Stokes equations. We also...

Numerical controllability of the wave equation through primal methods and Carleman estimates

Nicolae CîndeaEnrique Fernández-CaraArnaud Münch — 2013

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper deals with the numerical computation of boundary null controls for the 1D wave equation with a potential. The goal is to compute approximations of controls that drive the solution from a prescribed initial state to zero at a large enough controllability time. We do not apply in this work the usual duality arguments but explore instead a direct approach in the framework of global Carleman estimates. More precisely, we consider the control that minimizes over the class of admissible null...

Some inverse and control problems for fluids

Enrique Fernández-CaraThierry HorsinHenry Kasumba — 2013

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This paper deals with some inverse and control problems for the Navier-Stokes and related systems. We will focus on some particular aspects that have recently led to interesting (theoretical and numerical) results: geometric inverse problems, Eulerian and Lagrangian controllability and vortex reduction oriented to shape optimization.

Null controllability of the heat equation with boundary Fourier conditions: the linear case

Enrique Fernández-CaraManuel González-BurgosSergio GuerreroJean-Pierre Puel — 2006

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we prove the global null controllability of the linear heat equation completed with linear Fourier boundary conditions of the form y n + β y = 0 . We consider distributed controls with support in a small set and nonregular coefficients β = β ( x , t ) . For the proof of null controllability, a crucial tool will be a new Carleman estimate for the weak solutions of the classical heat equation with nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions.

Exact controllability to the trajectories of the heat equation with Fourier boundary conditions: the semilinear case

Enrique Fernández-CaraManuel González-BurgosSergio GuerreroJean-Pierre Puel — 2006

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is concerned with the global exact controllability of the semilinear heat equation (with nonlinear terms involving the state and the gradient) completed with boundary conditions of the form y n + f ( y ) = 0 . We consider distributed controls, with support in a small set. The null controllability of similar linear systems has been analyzed in a previous first part of this work. In this second part we show that, when the nonlinear terms are locally Lipschitz-continuous and slightly superlinear, one...
