Simultaneous controllability in sharp time for two elastic strings

Sergei Avdonin, Marius Tucsnak (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

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.

Simultaneous controllability in sharp time for two elastic strings

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for simultaneous spectral and approximate controllability.

Single input controllability of a simplified fluid-structure interaction model

Yuning Liu, Takéo Takahashi, Marius Tucsnak (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we study a controllability problem for a simplified one dimensional model for the motion of a rigid body in a viscous fluid. The control variable is the velocity of the fluid at one end. One of the novelties brought in with respect to the existing literature consists in the fact that we use a single scalar control. Moreover, we introduce a new methodology, which can be used for other nonlinear parabolic systems, independently of the techniques previously used for the linearized problem....

Some geometrical properties of infinite-dimensional bilinear controlled systems

Naceurdine Bensalem, Fernand Pelletier (1999)

Banach Center Publications

The study of controlled infinite-dimensional systems gives rise to many papers (see for instance [GXL], [GXB], [X]) but it is also motivated by various mathematical problems: partial differential equations ([BP]), sub-Riemannian geometry on infinite-dimensional manifolds ([Gr]), deformations in loop-spaces ([AP], [PS]). The first difference between finite and infinite-dimensional cases is that solutions in general do not exist (even locally) for every given control function. The aim of this paper...

Some inverse and control problems for fluids

Enrique Fernández-Cara, Thierry Horsin, Henry Kasumba (2013)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This paper deals with some inverse and control problems for the Navier-Stokes and related systems. We will focus on some particular aspects that have recently led to interesting (theoretical and numerical) results: geometric inverse problems, Eulerian and Lagrangian controllability and vortex reduction oriented to shape optimization.

Some necessary and sufficient conditions for the output controllability of temporal Boolean control networks

Yang Liu, Jianquan Lu, Bo Wu (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper investigates the output controllability problem of temporal Boolean networks with inputs (control nodes) and outputs (controlled nodes). A temporal Boolean network is a logical dynamic system describing cellular networks with time delays. Using semi-tensor product of matrices, the temporal Boolean networks can be converted into discrete time linear dynamic systems. Some necessary and sufficient conditions on the output controllability via two kinds of inputs are obtained by providing...

Some new results related to the null controllability of the 1 - d heat equation

Antonio López, Enrique Zuazua (1997/1998)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We address three null controllability problems related to the 1 - d heat equation. First we show that the 1 - d heat equation with a rapidly oscillating density is uniformly null controllable as the period of the density tends to zero. We also prove that the same result holds for the finite-difference semi-discretization in space of the constant coefficient heat equation as the step size tends to zero. Finally, we prove that the null controllability of the constant coefficient heat equation can be obtained...

Source localization and sensor placement in environmental monitoring

Alexander Khapalov (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we discuss two closely related problems arising in environmental monitoring. The first is the source localization problem linked to the question How can one find an unknown "contamination source"? The second is an associated sensor placement problem: Where should we place sensors that are capable of providing the necessary "adequate data" for that? Our approach is based on some concepts and ideas developed in mathematical control theory of partial differential equations.

Spatial compensation of boundary disturbances by boundary actuators

Larbi Afifi, Abdelhakim Chafiai, Abdelhaq El Jai (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we show how to find convenient boundary actuators, termed boundary efficient actuators, ensuring finite-time space compensation of any boundary disturbance. This is the so-called remediability problem. Then we study the relationship between this remediability notion and controllability by boundary actuators, and hence the relationship between boundary strategic and boundary efficient actuators. We also determine the set of boundary remediable disturbances, and for a boundary disturbance,...

Stabilisation frontière de problèmes de Ventcel

Amar Heminna (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The problem of boundary stabilization for the isotropic linear elastodynamic system and the wave equation with Ventcel's conditions are considered (see [12]). The boundary observability and the exact controllability were etablished in [11]. We prove here the enegy decay to zero for the elastodynamic system with stationary Ventcel's conditions by introducing a nonlinear boundary feedback. We also give a boundary feedback leading to arbitrarily large energy decay rates for the elastodynamic system...
