Control of the continuity equation with a non local flow

Rinaldo M. Colombo, Michael Herty, Magali Mercier (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper focuses on the analytical properties of the solutions to the continuity equation with non local flow. Our driving examples are a supply chain model and an equation for the description of pedestrian flows. To this aim, we prove the well posedness of weak entropy solutions in a class of equations comprising these models. Then, under further regularity conditions, we prove the differentiability of solutions with respect to the initial datum and characterize this derivative. A necessary ...

Control of the wave equation by time-dependent coefficient

Antonin Chambolle, Fadil Santosa (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study an initial boundary-value problem for a wave equation with time-dependent sound speed. In the control problem, we wish to determine a sound-speed function which damps the vibration of the system. We consider the case where the sound speed can take on only two values, and propose a simple control law. We show that if the number of modes in the vibration is finite, and none of the eigenfrequencies are repeated, the proposed control law does lead to energy decay. We illustrate the rich behavior...

Control of transonic shock positions

Olivier Pironneau (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We wish to show how the shock position in a nozzle could be controlled. Optimal control theory and algorithm is applied to the transonic equation. The difficulty is that the derivative with respect to the shock position involves a Dirac mass. The one dimensional case is solved, the two dimensional one is analyzed .

Controllability of a Nonhomogeneous String and Ring under Time Dependent Tension

S. A. Avdonin, B. P. Belinskiy, L. Pandolfi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We study controllability for a nonhomogeneous string and ring under an axial stretching tension that varies with time. We consider the boundary control for a string and distributed control for a ring. For a string, we are looking for a control f(t) ∈ L2(0, T) that drives the state solution to rest. We show that for a ring, two forces are required to achieve controllability. The controllability problem is reduced to a moment problem...

Controllability of analytic functions for a wave equation coupled with a beam.

Brice Allibert, Sorin Micu (1999)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

We consider the controllability and observation problem for a simple model describing the interaction between a fluid and a beam. For this model, microlocal propagation of singularities proves that the space of controlled functions is smaller that the energy space. We use spectral properties and an explicit construction of biorthogonal sequences to show that analytic functions can be controlled within finite time. We also give an estimate for this time, related to the amount of analyticity of the...

Controllability of partial differential equations on graphs

Sergei Avdonin, Victor Mikhaylov (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

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 heat equation...

Controller design for bush-type 1-d wave networks∗

Yaxuan Zhang, Genqi Xu (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we introduce a new method for feedback controller design for the complex distributed parameter networks governed by wave equations, which ensures the stability of the closed loop system. This method is based on the uniqueness theory of ordinary differential equations and cutting-edge approach in the graph theory, but it is not a simple extension. As a realization of this idea, we investigate a bush-type wave network. The well-posedness of the closed loop system is obtained via Lax-Milgram’s...

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...
