Geometrical aspects of exact boundary controllability for the wave equation. A numerical study
Geometrical aspects of exact boundary controllability for the wave equation - a numerical study
This essentially numerical study, sets out to investigate various geometrical properties of exact boundary controllability of the wave equation when the control is applied on a part of the boundary. Relationships between the geometry of the domain, the geometry of the controlled boundary, the time needed to control and the energy of the control are dealt with. A new norm of the control and an energetic cost factor are introduced. These quantities enable a detailed appraisal of the numerical solutions...

Global non-negative controllability of the semilinear parabolic equation governed by bilinear control
We study the global approximate controllability of the one dimensional semilinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation governed in a bounded domain via the coefficient (bilinear control) in the additive reaction term. Clearly, even in the linear case, due to the maximum principle, such system is not globally or locally controllable in any reasonable linear space. It is also well known that for the superlinear terms admitting a power growth at infinity the global approximate controllability by...

Gradient observability for diffusion systems
The aim of this paper is to study regional gradient observability for a diffusion system and the reconstruction of the state gradient without the knowledge of the state. First, we give definitions and characterizations of these new concepts and establish necessary conditions for the sensor structure in order to obtain regional gradient observability. We also explore an approach which allows for a regional gradient reconstruction. The developed method is original and leads to a numerical algorithm...
