On the Stabilization of the Wave Equation by the Boundary

Cardoso, Fernando, Vodev, Georgi (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

* Partially supported by CNPq (Brazil)We study the distribution of the (complex) eigenvalues for interior boundary value problems with dissipative boundary conditions in the case of C 1 -smooth boundary under some natural assumption on the behaviour of the geodesics. As a consequence we obtain energy decay estimates of the solutions of the corresponding wave equation.

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 blowup rates for the minimal energy null control of the strongly damped abstract wave equation

George Avalos, Irena Lasiecka (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

The null controllability problem for a structurally damped abstract wave equation –often referred to in the literature as a structurally damped equation– is considered with a view towards obtaining optimal rates of blowup for the associated minimal energy function min ( T ) , as terminal time T 0 . Key use is made of the underlying analyticity of the semigroup generated by the elastic operator 𝒜 , as well as of the explicit characterization of its domain of definition. We ultimately find that the blowup rate...

Optimal control of nonlinear one-dimensional periodic wave equation with x-dependent coefficients

Hengyan Li, Shuguan Ji (2011)

Open Mathematics

This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by the nonlinear one dimensional periodic wave equation with x-dependent coefficients. The control of the system is realized via the outer function of the state. Such a model arises from the propagation of seismic waves in a nonisotropic medium. By investigating some important properties of the linear operator associated with the state equation, we obtain the existence and regularity of the weak solution to the state equation. Furthermore,...

Optimal internal dissipation of a damped wave equation using a topological approach

Arnaud Münch (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We consider a linear damped wave equation defined on a two-dimensional domain Ω, with a dissipative term localized in a subset ω. We address the shape design problem which consists in optimizing the shape of ω in order to minimize the energy of the system at a given time T . By introducing an adjoint problem, we first obtain explicitly the (shape) derivative of the energy at time T with respect to the variation in ω. Expressed as a boundary integral on ∂ω, this derivative is then used as an advection...

Oscillations of anharmonic Fourier series and the wave equation.

Alain Haraux, Vilmos Komornik (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this paper we have collected some partial results on the sign of u(t,x) where u is a (sufficiently regular) solution of⎧     utt + (-1)m Δmu = 0     (t,x) ∈ R x Ω⎨⎩     u|Γ = ... = Δm-1 u|Γ = 0     t ∈ R.These results rely on the study of a sign of almost periodic functions of a special form restricted to a bounded interval J.
