Controllability problems for the 1-D wave equation on a half-axis with the Dirichlet boundary control
In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions of L∞-controllability and approximate L∞-controllability are obtained for the control system wtt = wxx − q2w, w(0,t) = u(t), x > 0, t ∈ (0,T), where q ≥ 0, T > 0, u ∈ L∞(0,T) is a control. This system is considered in the Sobolev spaces.

Controllability properties for the one-dimensional Heat equation under multiplicative or nonnegative additive controls with local mobile support
We discuss several new results on nonnegative approximate controllability for the one-dimensional Heat equation governed by either multiplicative or nonnegative additive control, acting within a proper subset of the space domain at every moment of time. Our methods allow us to link these two types of controls to some extend. The main results include approximate controllability properties both for the static and mobile control supports.
Controllability properties of a class of systems modeling swimming microscopic organisms
We consider a finite-dimensional model for the motion of microscopic organisms whose propulsion exploits the action of a layer of cilia covering its surface. The model couples Newton's laws driving the organism, considered as a rigid body, with Stokes equations governing the surrounding fluid. The action of the cilia is described by a set of controlled velocity fields on the surface of the organism. The first contribution of the paper is the proof that such a system is generically controllable...

Controllablity of a quantum particle in a 1D variable domain
We consider a quantum particle in a 1D infinite square potential well with variable length. It is a nonlinear control system in which the state is the wave function ϕ of the particle and the control is the length l(t) of the potential well. We prove the following controllability result : given close enough to an eigenstate corresponding to the length l = 1 and close enough to another eigenstate corresponding to the length l=1, there exists a continuous function with T > 0, such that l(0)...

Controlling a non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam with the aid of the torque
Considered is the control and stabilizability of a slowly rotating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam with the aid of a torque. It turns out that the beam is (approximately) controllable with the aid of the torque if and only if it is (approximately) controllable. However, the controllability problem appears to be a side-effect while studying the stabilizability. To build a stabilizing control one needs to go through the methods of correcting the operators with functionals so that they have finally...

Controls insensitizing the norm of the solution of a semilinear heat equation in unbounded domains
We consider a semilinear heat equation in an unbounded domain Ω with partially known initial data. The insensitizing problem consists in finding a control function such that some functional of the state is locally insensitive to the perturbations of these initial data. For bounded domains Bodart and Fabre proved the existence of insensitizing controls of the norm of the observation of the solution in an open subset of the domain. In this paper we prove similar results when Ω is unbounded. We consider...
Convergence of a two-grid algorithm for the control of the wave equation
We analyze the problem of boundary observability of the finite-difference space semidiscretizations of the 2-d wave equation in the square. We prove the uniform (with respect to the meshsize) boundary observability for the solutions obtained by the two-grid preconditioner introduced by Glowinski [9]. Our method uses previously known uniform observability inequalities for low frequency solutions and a dyadic spectral time decomposition. As a consequence we prove the convergence of the two-grid algorithm...
