Control of the Wave Equation by Time-Dependent Coefficient

Antonin Chambolle, Fadil Santosa (2010)

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 of...

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 .

Control of Traveling Solutions in a Loop-Reactor

Y. Smagina, M. Sheintuch (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We consider the stabilization of a rotating temperature pulse traveling in a continuous asymptotic model of many connected chemical reactors organized in a loop with continuously switching the feed point synchronously with the motion of the pulse solution. We use the switch velocity as control parameter and design it to follow the pulse: the switch velocity is updated at every step on-line using the discrepancy between the temperature at the front...

Control structure in optimization problems of bar systems

Leszek Mikulski (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Optimal design problems in mechanics can be mathematically formulated as optimal control tasks. The minimum principle is employed in solving such problems. This principle allows us to write down optimal design problems as Multipoint Boundary Value Problems (MPBVPs). The dimension of MPBVPs is an essential restriction that decides on numerical difficulties. Optimal control theory does not give much information about the control structure, i.e., about the sequence of the forms of the right-hand sides...

Control structures

Robert Bryant, Robert Gardner (1995)

Banach Center Publications

We define an extension of the classical notion of a control system which we call a control structure. This is a geometric structure which can be defined on manifolds whose underlying topology is more complicated than that of a domain in ℝ n . Every control structure turns out to be locally representable as a classical control system, but our extension has the advantage that it has various naturality properties which the (classical) coordinate formulation does not, including the existence of so-called...

Control systems on semi-simple Lie groups and their homogeneous spaces

Velimir Jurdjevic, Ivan Kupka (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In the present paper, we consider the class of control systems which are induced by the action of a semi-simple Lie group on a manifold, and we give a sufficient condition which insures that such a system can be steered from any initial state to any final state by an admissible control. The class of systems considered contains, in particular, essentially all the bilinear systems. Our condition is semi-algebraic but unlike the celebrated Kalman criterion for linear systems, it is not necessary. In...

Control Systems on the Orthogonal Group SO(4)

Ross M. Adams, Rory Biggs, Claudiu C. Remsing (2013)

Communications in Mathematics

We classify the left-invariant control affine systems evolving on the orthogonal group S O ( 4 ) . The equivalence relation under consideration is detached feedback equivalence. Each possible number of inputs is considered; both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems are covered. A complete list of class representatives is identified and controllability of each representative system is determined.

Contrôlabilité exacte d'un problème avec conditions de Ventcel évolutives pour le système linéaire de l'élasticité.

Amar Heminna (2001)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In this work, we examine the exact controllability of the solution of a linear elasticity system, with evolutive Ventcel's conditions, (see [3]), in a bounded domain of R3. We use the Hilbert uniqueness methode, (H.U.M), of J.L.Lions, (see [9]); some multipliers are defined on the boundary; the curvature tensor (see [6]), appears when computing some boundary integrals. This work can be inserted in the framework of the study of the exact controllability and stabilisation of various problems with...
