Exact controllability for the wave equation in domains with variable boundary.
A model representing the vibrations of a fluid-solid coupled structure is considered. Following Hilbert Uniqueness Method (HUM) introduced by Lions, we establish exact controllability results for this model with an internal control in the fluid part and there is no control in the solid part. Novel features which arise because of the coupling are pointed out. It is a source of difficulty in the proof of observability inequalities, definition of weak solutions and the proof of controllability...

Exact controllability results for a multilayer plate system are obtained from the method of Carleman estimates. The multilayer plate system is a natural multilayer generalization of a classical three-layer “sandwich plate” system due to Rao and Nakra. The multilayer version involves a number of Lamé systems for plane elasticity coupled with a scalar Kirchhoff plate equation. The plate is assumed to be either clamped or hinged and controls are assumed to be locally distributed in a neighborhood...

We consider the problem of boundary control of an elastic system with coupling to a potential equation. The potential equation represents the linearized motions of an incompressible inviscid fluid in a cavity bounded in part by an elastic membrane. Sufficient control is placed on a portion of the elastic membrane to insure that the uncoupled membrane is exactly controllable. The main result is that if the density of the fluid is sufficiently small, then the coupled system is exactly controllable....
The exact internal controllability of the radial solutions of a semilinear heat equation in R3 is proved. The result applies for nonlinearities that are of an order smaller than |s| logp |s| at infinity for 1 ≤ p < 2. The method of the proof combines HUM and a fixed point technique.
We show exact null-controllability for two models of non-classical, parabolic partial differential equations with distributed control: (i) second-order structurally damped equations, except for a limit case, where exact null controllability fails; and (ii) thermo-elastic equations with hinged boundary conditions. In both cases, the problem is solved by duality.
The liner parabolic equation ∂y ∂t − 1 2 Δy + F · ∇ y = 1 x1d4aa; 0 u with Neumann boundary condition on a convex open domain x1d4aa; ⊂ ℝd with smooth boundary is exactly null controllable on each finite interval if 𝒪0is an open subset of x1d4aa; which contains a suitable neighbourhood of the recession cone of x1d4aa; . Here,F : ℝd → ℝd is a bounded, C1-continuous function, and F = ∇g, where g is convex and coercive.
We consider the flow of gas through pipelines controlled by a compressor station. Under a subsonic flow assumption we prove the existence of classical solutions for a given finite time interval. The existence result is used to construct Riemannian feedback laws and to prove a stabilization result for a coupled system of gas pipes with a compressor station. We introduce a Lyapunov function and prove exponential decay with respect to the L2-norm.

In this paper we study the frequency and time domain behaviour of a heat exchanger network system. The system is governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations. Both the control operator and the observation operator are unbounded but admissible. Using the theory of symmetric hyperbolic systems, we prove exponential stability of the underlying semigroup for the heat exchanger network. Applying the recent theory of well-posed infinite-dimensional linear systems, we prove that the system is...
