Exact controllability of linear dynamical systems: A geometrical approach

María Isabel García-Planas (2017)

Applications of Mathematics

In recent years there has been growing interest in the descriptive analysis of complex systems, permeating many aspects of daily life, obtaining considerable advances in the description of their structural and dynamical properties. However, much less effort has been devoted to studying the controllability of the dynamics taking place on them. Concretely, for complex systems it is of interest to study the exact controllability; this measure is defined as the minimum set of controls that are needed...

Exact controllability of shells in minimal time

Paola Loreti (2001)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We prove an exact controllability result for thin cups using the Fourier method and recent improvements of Ingham type theorems, given in a previous paper [2].

Exact controllability of the 1-d wave equation from a moving interior point

Carlos Castro (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the linear wave equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded interval, and with a control acting on a moving point. We give sufficient conditions on the trajectory of the control in order to have the exact controllability property.

Exact controllability to the trajectories of the heat equation with Fourier boundary conditions: the semilinear case

Enrique Fernández-Cara, Manuel González-Burgos, Sergio Guerrero, Jean-Pierre Puel (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is concerned with the global exact controllability of the semilinear heat equation (with nonlinear terms involving the state and the gradient) completed with boundary conditions of the form y n + f ( y ) = 0 . We consider distributed controls, with support in a small set. The null controllability of similar linear systems has been analyzed in a previous first part of this work. In this second part we show that, when the nonlinear terms are locally Lipschitz-continuous and slightly superlinear, one...

Exact controllability to trajectories for semilinear heat equations with discontinuous diffusion coefficients

Anna Doubova, A. Osses, J.-P. Puel (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The results of this paper concern exact controllability to the trajectories for a coupled system of semilinear heat equations. We have transmission conditions on the interface and Dirichlet boundary conditions at the external part of the boundary so that the system can be viewed as a single equation with discontinuous coefficients in the principal part. Exact controllability to the trajectories is proved when we consider distributed controls supported in the part of the domain where the diffusion...

Exact Neumann boundary controllability for second order hyperbolic equations

Weijiu Liu, Graham Williams (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Using HUM, we study the problem of exact controllability with Neumann boundary conditions for second order hyperbolic equations. We prove that these systems are exactly controllable for all initial states in L 2 ( Ω ) × ( H 1 ( Ω ) ) ' and we derive estimates for the control time T.
