Exact boundary controllability for a kind of second‐order quasilinear hyperbolic systems and its applications

In this paper, by means of a constructive method based on the existence and uniqueness of the semi‐global C² solution, we establish the local exact boundary controllability for a kind of second‐order quasilinear hyperbolic systems. As an application, we obtain the one‐sided local exact boundary controllability for the first‐order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of diagonal form with boundary conditions in which the diagonal variables corresponding to the positive eigenvalues and those corresponding to the negative eigenvalues are decoupled.

Exact controllability of nodal profile for 1‐D first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with internal controls

For 1‐D first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems without zero eigenvalues, based on the theory of exact boundary controllability of nodal profile, using an extension method, the exact controllability of nodal profile can be realized in a shorter time by means of additional internal controls acting on suitably small space‐time domains. On the other hand, using a perturbation method, the exact controllability of nodal profile for 1‐D first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with zero eigenvalues can be realized by additional internal controls to the part of equations corresponding to zero eigenvalues. Furthermore, by adding suitable internal controls to all the equations on suitable domains, the exact controllability of nodal profile for systems with zero eigenvalues can be realized in a shorter time.

Contrôlabilité et observabilité unilatérales de systèmes hyperboliques quasi-linéaires

The known theory on the one-side exact boundary controllability and the one-side exact boundary observability for first-order quasilinear hyperbolic systems requires that the unknown variables should be suitably coupled in the boundary conditions at the non-control or non-observation side. In this Note we illustrate, with an inspiring example, that the one-side exact boundary controllability and the one-side exact boundary observability can still be realized by means of a suitable coupling among the unknown variables in the quasilinear hyperbolic system itself.
