Control for the Sine-Gordon equation

Madalina Petcu, Roger Temam (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this article we apply the optimal and the robust control theory to the sine-Gordon equation. In our case the control is given by the boundary conditions and we work in a finite time horizon. We present at the beginning the optimal control problem and we derive a necessary condition of optimality and we continue by formulating a robust control problem for which existence and uniqueness of solutions are derived.

Convergence and asymptotic stabilization for some damped hyperbolic equations with non-isolated equilibria

Felipe Alvarez, Hedy Attouch (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

It is established convergence to a particular equilibrium for weak solutions of abstract linear equations of the second order in time associated with monotone operators with nontrivial kernel. Concerning nonlinear hyperbolic equations with monotone and conservative potentials, it is proved a general asymptotic convergence result in terms of weak and strong topologies of appropriate Hilbert spaces. It is also considered the stabilization of a particular equilibrium via the introduction of an asymptotically...

Convergence of Fourier spectral method for resonant long-short nonlinear wave interaction

Abdur Rashid, Shakaib Akram (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, the evolution equations with nonlinear term describing the resonance interaction between the long wave and the short wave are studied. The semi-discrete and fully discrete Crank-Nicholson Fourier spectral schemes are given. An energy estimation method is used to obtain error estimates for the approximate solutions. The numerical results obtained are compared with exact solution and found to be in good agreement.

Critical phenomena in gravitational collapse

Carsten Gundlach (1997)

Banach Center Publications

A mini-introduction to critical phenomena in gravitational collapse is combined with a more detailed discussion of how gravity regularizes the 'critical spacetimes' that dominate these phenomena.

Decay estimates of solutions of a nonlinearly damped semilinear wave equation

Aissa Guesmia, Salim A. Messaoudi (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider an initial boundary value problem for the equation u t t - Δ u - ϕ · u + f ( u ) + g ( u t ) = 0 . We first prove local and global existence results under suitable conditions on f and g. Then we show that weak solutions decay either algebraically or exponentially depending on the rate of growth of g. This result improves and includes earlier decay results established by the authors.
