ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations
Similarity:
We consider the exact controllability of a hybrid
system consisting of an elastic beam, clamped at one end and attached
at the other end to a
rigid antenna. Such a system is governed by one partial
differential equation and two ordinary differential equations. Using the
HUM method, we prove that the hybrid system is exactly
controllable in an arbitrarily short time in the usual energy space.
