Let V and W be matrices of size n × pk and qm × n, respectively. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a triple (A,B,C) such that V a k-step reachability matrix of (A,B) andW an m-step observability matrix of (A,C).
The problem of partial exact boundary controllability and exponential stability for the higher-dimensional linear system of thermoelasticity is considered. By introducing a velocity feedback on part of the boundary of the thermoelastic body, which is clamped along the rest of its boundary, to increase the loss of energy, we prove that the energy in the system of thermoelasticity decays to zero exponentially. We also give a positive answer to a related open question raised by Alabau and Komornik...
In this article, we prove the partial exact controllability of a nonlinear system. We use semigroup formulation together with fixed point approach to study the nonlinear system.
In this paper, the problem of obtaining a periodic model in state-space form of a linear process that can be modeled by linear difference equations with periodic coefficients is considered. Such a problem was already studied and solved in [r71] on the basis of the notion of system equivalence, but under the assumption that the process has no null characteristic multiplier. In this paper such an assumption is removed in order to generalize the results in [r71] to linear periodic processes with possibly...
