Uniform controllability for the beam equation with vanishing structural damping
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 . We study the boundary controllability properties of this perturbed equation and the behavior of its boundary controls as goes to zero. It is shown that for any time sufficiently large but independent of and for each initial data in a suitable space there exists a uniformly bounded...
