Some uniqueness and observability problems arising in the control of vibrations
We discuss a control problem for the Lamé system which naturally leads to the following uniqueness problem: Given a bounded domain of , are there non-trivial solutions of the evolution Lamé system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for which the first two components vanish? We show that such solutions do not exist when the domain is Lipschitz. However, in two space dimensions one can build easily polygonal domains in which there are eigenvibrations with the first component being identically...
