Dans cet article on étudie le problème de l’unicité locale pour le système de Lamé. On prouve qu’on a l’unicité de Cauchy par rapport à toute surface non caractéristique. Nous donnons également deux résultats de densité qui s’applique à la théorie du contrôle pour le système de Lamé.

In this paper, we study the uniqueness problem for the Lamé system. We prove that we have the uniqueness property across any non characteristic surface. We also give two results which apply to the boundary controllability for the Lamé system.

Dans ce papier nous prouvons que si une solution de KdV est suffisamment décroissante à l’infini (c’est-à-dire comme e${}^{-x^{\alpha }}$ où $\alpha \>9/4$) et si la donnée de Cauchy est nulle pour $x$ assez grand alors la solution est nulle. Ce résultat est la conséquence d’une inégalité de Carleman adaptée à la décroissance de la solution à l’infini.

This paper is devoted to studying the effects of a vanishing structural damping on the controllability properties of the one dimensional linear beam equation. The vanishing term depends on a small parameter $\epsilon \in (0,1)$. We study the boundary controllability properties of this perturbed equation and the behavior of its boundary controls $v_{\epsilon }$ as $\epsilon$ goes to zero. It is shown that for any time $T$ sufficiently large but independent of $\epsilon$ and for each initial data in a suitable space there exists a uniformly bounded...

This article considers the linear 1-d Schrödinger equation in (0,π) perturbed by a vanishing viscosity term depending on a small parameter ε > 0. We study the boundary controllability properties of this perturbed equation and the behavior of its boundary controls vε as ε goes to zero. It is shown that, for any time T sufficiently large but independent of ε and for each initial datum in H−1(0,π), there exists a uniformly...

For the efficient numerical solution of indefinite linear systems arising from curl conforming edge element approximations of the time-harmonic Maxwell equation, we consider local multigrid methods (LMM) on adaptively refined meshes. The edge element discretization is done by the lowest order edge elements of Nédélec’s first family. The LMM features local hybrid Hiptmair smoothers of Jacobi and Gauss–Seidel type which are performed only on basis functions associated with newly created edges/nodal...

This paper deals with the distributed and boundary controllability of the so called Leray-α model. This is a regularized variant of the Navier−Stokes system (α is a small positive parameter) that can also be viewed as a model for turbulent flows. We prove that the Leray-α equations are locally null controllable, with controls bounded independently of α. We also prove that, if the initial data are sufficiently small, the controls converge as α → 0+ to a null control of the Navier−Stokes equations....

It is well known that people can derive the radiation MHD model from an MHD-$P1$ approximate model. As pointed out by F. Xie and C. Klingenberg (2018), the uniform regularity estimates play an important role in the convergence from an MHD-$P1$ approximate model to the radiation MHD model. The aim of this paper is to prove the uniform regularity of strong solutions to an isentropic compressible MHD-$P1$ approximate model arising in radiation hydrodynamics. Here we use the bilinear commutator and product estimates...

We consider a damped abstract second order evolution equation with an additional vanishing damping of Kelvin–Voigt type. Unlike the earlier work by Zuazua and Ervedoza, we do not assume the operator defining the main damping to be bounded. First, using a constructive frequency domain method coupled with a decomposition of frequencies and the introduction of a new variable, we show that if the limit system is exponentially stable, then this evolutionary system is uniformly − with respect to the calibration...

This work is devoted to prove the exponential decay for the energy of solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation in a bounded interval with a localized damping term. Following the method in Menzala (2002) which combines energy estimates, multipliers and compactness arguments the problem is reduced to prove the unique continuation of weak solutions. In Menzala (2002) the case where solutions vanish on a neighborhood of both extremes of the bounded interval where equation holds was solved combining...

We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem ${\Delta }^{2}w=-\lambda \Delta w$ in a 2D corner with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a supplementary third order boundary condition on one side of the corner. We prove that if the corner has an angle $0\<{\theta }_0\<2\pi$, ${\theta }_0\ne \pi$ and ${\theta }_0\ne 3\pi /2$, a unique continuation property holds. Approximate controllability of a 2-D linear fluid-structure problem follows from this property, with a control acting on the elastic side of a corner in a domain containing a Stokes...
