Unique continuation principle for systems of parabolic equations

Otared Kavian, Luz de Teresa (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we prove a unique continuation result for a cascade system of parabolic equations, in which the solution of the first equation is (partially) used as a forcing term for the second equation. As a consequence we prove the existence of ε-insensitizing controls for some parabolic equations when the control region and the observability region do not intersect.

Unique continuation property near a corner and its fluid-structure controllability consequences

Axel Osses, Jean-Pierre Puel (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem Δ 2 w = - λ Δ 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 < θ 0 < 2 π , θ 0 π and θ 0 3 π / 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...

Uniqueness results for Stokes equations and their consequences in linear and nonlinear control problems

Caroline Fabre (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The goal of this article is the study of the approximate controllability for two approximations of Navier Stokes equations with distributed controls. The method of proof combines a suitable linearization of the system with a fixed point argument. We then are led to study the approximate controllability of linear Stokes systems with potentials. We study both the case where there is no constraint on the control and the case where we search a control having one null component. In both cases,...

Variational approach to some optimization control problems

R. Bianchini (1995)

Banach Center Publications

This paper presents the variational approach to some optimization problems: Mayer's problem with or without constraints on the final point, local controllability of a trajectory, time-optimal problems.

Well-posed linear systems - a survey with emphasis on conservative systems

George Weiss, Olof Staffans, Marius Tucsnak (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We survey the literature on well-posed linear systems, which has been an area of rapid development in recent years. We examine the particular subclass of conservative systems and its connections to scattering theory. We study some transformations of well-posed systems, namely duality and time-flow inversion, and their effect on the transfer function and the generating operators. We describe a simple way to generate conservative systems via a second-order differential equation in a Hilbert space....
