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

Nicolae Cîndea, Enrique Fernández-Cara, Arnaud Münch (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

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...

Exact controllability of the 1-d wave equation from a moving interior point

Carlos Castro (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider the linear wave equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded interval, and with a control acting on a moving point. We give sufficient conditions on the trajectory of the control in order to have the exact controllability property.

Analytic controllability of the wave equation over a cylinder

Brice Allibert (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We analyze the controllability of the wave equation on a cylinder when the control acts on the boundary, that does not satisfy the classical geometric control condition. We obtain precise estimates on the analyticity of reachable functions. As the control time increases, the degree of analyticity that is required for a function to be reachable decreases as an inverse power of time. We conclude that any analytic function can be reached if that control time is large enough. In the...

Numerical solution of an inverse initial boundary value problem for the wave equation in the presence of conductivity imperfections of small volume

Mark Asch, Marion Darbas, Jean-Baptiste Duval (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider the numerical solution, in two- and three-dimensional bounded domains, of the inverse problem for identifying the location of small-volume, conductivity imperfections in a medium with homogeneous background. A dynamic approach, based on the wave equation, permits us to treat the important case of “limited-view” data. Our numerical algorithm is based on the coupling of a finite element solution of the wave equation, an exact controllability method and finally a Fourier inversion...

Controllability of partial differential equations on graphs

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study boundary control problems for the wave, heat, and Schrödinger equations on a finite graph. We suppose that the graph is a tree (i.e., it does not contain cycles), and on each edge an equation is defined. The control is acting through the Dirichlet condition applied to all or all but one boundary vertices. Exact controllability in L₂-classes of controls is proved and sharp estimates of the time of controllability are obtained for the wave equation. Null controllability for the...
