Boundary control of heat conduction

The paper considers control of the heat conduction process u_t — u = g from the initial state u(x, 0) to the final state u(x, t₁) in a fixed (finite) time t₁ via the coefficient (z) in the boundary condition Bu = (u/n) + (x)u. A uniqueness theorem is proved for the problem to find the process—control pair (u, ). The control problem is posed in terms of the coefficient in a boundary condition of the form Bu = (u/n) + (t)u.Translated from Nelineinye Dinamicheskie Sistemy: Kachestvennyi Analiz i Upravlenie — Sbornik Trudov, No. 3, pp. 93–97, 1993.
