Semilinear diffraction of conormal waves (joint work with Melrose and Sa Barreto)
We consider second order semilinear hyperbolic functional differential equations where the lower order terms contain functional dependence on the unknown function. Existence and uniqueness of solutions for t ∈ (0,T), existence for t ∈ (0,∞) and some qualitative properties of the solutions in (0,∞) are shown.
This paper deals with the problem of regional observability of hyperbolic systems in the case where the subregion of interest is a boundary part of the system evolution domain. We give a definition and establish characterizations in connection with the sensor structure. Then we show that it is possible to reconstruct the system state on a subregion of the boundary. The developed approach, based on the Hilbert uniqueness method (Lions, 1988), leads to a reconstruction algorithm. The obtained results...
If is a linear hyperbolic system of partial differential operators for which local uniqueness in the Cauchy problem at spacelike hypersurfaces is known, we find nearly optimal domains of determinacy of open sets . The frozen constant coefficient operators determine local convex propagation cones, . Influence curves are curves whose tangent always lies in these cones. We prove that the set of points which cannot be reached by influence curves beginning in the exterior of is a domain of...
This note provides sharp regularity results for general, time-independent, second order, hyperbolic equations with non-homogeneous data of Neumann type.
We study the simultaneously reachable subspace for two strings controlled from a common endpoint. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for simultaneous spectral and approximate controllability. Moreover we prove the lack of simultaneous exact controllability and we study the space of simultaneously reachable states as a function of the position of the joint. For each type of controllability result we give the sharp controllability time.
