Insensitizing controls for a class of nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau equations

This paper shows the existence of insensitizing controls for a class of nonlinear complex Ginzburg-Landau equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and arbitrarily located internal controller. When the nonlinearity in the equation satisfies a suitable superlinear growth condition at infinity, the existence of insensitizing controls for the corresponding semilinear Ginzburg-Landau equation is proved. Meanwhile, if the nonlinearity in the equation is only a smooth function without any additional growth condition, a local result on insensitizing controls is obtained. As usual, the problem of insensitizing controls is transformed into a suitable controllability problem for a coupled system governed by a semilinear complex Ginzburg-Landau equation and a linear one through one control. The key is to establish an observability inequality for a coupled linear Ginzburg-Landau system with one observer.     

Insensitizing controls for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations

This paper is addressed to showing the existence of insensitizing controls for a class of quasilinear parabolic equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. As usual, this insensitizing problem is reduced to a nonstandard null controllability problem of some nonlinear cascade system governed by a quasilinear parabolic equation and a linear parabolic equation. Nevertheless, in order to solve the later quasilinear controllability problem by the fixed point technique, we need to establish the null controllability of the linearized cascade parabolic system in the framework of classical solutions. The key point is to find the desired control function in a Hölder space for given data with certain regularities.     

Exact Controllability to Trajectories for a Semilinear Heat Equation with a Superlinear Nonlinearity

In this paper, we consider exact controllability to trajectories for a semilinear heat equation with nonlinearity that has superlinear growth at infinity with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain of ? ^N . The results are established by using the variational methods, the related duality theory and Kakutani Fixed-point Theorem and generalize the previous results.     

Local controllability to stationary trajectories of a Burgers equation with nonlocal viscosity

This article studies the local controllability to trajectories of a Burgers equation with nonlocal viscosity. By linearization we are led to an equation with a non local term whose controllability properties are analyzed by using Fourier decomposition and biorthogonal techniques. Once the existence of controls is proved and the dependence of their norms with respect to the time is established for the linearized model, a fixed point method allows us to deduce the result for the nonlinear initial problem.     

Existence and Nonexistence of Global Solutions for a Semi-Linear Heat Equation with Fractional Laplacian

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence and non-existence of global solutions of a semi-linear heat equation with fractional Laplacian. We obtain some extension of results of Weissler who considered the case α = 1, and h ≡ 1.     

Null Controllability for the Dissipative Semilinear Heat Equation

We consider the exact null controllability problem for the semi- linear heat equation with dissipative nonlinearity in a bounded domain of Rⁿ . The main result of the article asserts that if the nonlinearity is even mildly superlinear, then global null controllability in an arbitrarily short time fails; instead we provide sharp estimates for the controllability time in terms of the size of the initial data.     

Global Exact Boundary Controllability for Cubic Semi-linear Wave Equations and Klein-Gordon Equations

The authors prove the global exact boundary controllability for the cubic semi-linear wave equation in three space dimensions, subject to Dirichlet, Neumann, or any other kind of boundary controls which result in the well-posedness of the corresponding initial-boundary value problem. The exponential decay of energy is first established for the cubic semi-linear wave equation with some boundary condition by the multiplier method, which reduces the global exact boundary controllability problem to a local one. The proof is carried out in line with [2, 15]. Then a constructive method that has been developed in [13] is used to study the local problem. Especially when the region is star-complemented, it is obtained that the control function only need to be applied on a relatively open subset of the boundary. For the cubic Klein-Gordon equation, similar results of the global exact boundary controllability are proved by such an idea.     

Controllability of nonlinear systems

Some sufficient conditions are presented for the controllability of general nonlinear systems. First, the controllability problem is transformed into the problem of existence of fixed points for some operator; using Schauder's theorem, it is derived that a sufficient condition for controllability is the existence of a subsetS inC _n+m (T) which is invariant for a derived operator. Secondly, with the aid of the notion of comparison principle, the existence of the subsetS is guaranteed by the existence of solutions for some nonlinear integral inequality or equality equations. For example, one solution for such nonlinear integral equations is obtained under the assumption of the uniform boundedness for a nonlinear term of the differential equation.     

Existence of Insensitizing Controls for a Semilinear Heat Equation with a Superlinear Nonlinearity

Abstract

In this paper we consider a semilinear heat equation (in a bounded domain Ω of ? ^N ) with a nonlinearity that has a superlinear growth at infinity. We prove the existence of a control, with support in an open set ω ? Ω, that insensitizes the L ² ? norm of the observation of the solution in another open subset 𝒪 ? Ω when ω ∩ 𝒪 ≠ ?, under suitable assumptions on the nonlinear term f(y) and the right hand side term ξ of the equation. The proof, involving global Carleman estimates and regularizing properties of the heat equation, relies on the sharp study of a similar linearized problem and an appropriate fixed-point argument. For certain superlinear nonlinearities, we also prove an insensitivity result of a negative nature. The crucial point in this paper is the technique of construction of L ^r -controls (r large enough) starting from insensitizing controls in L ².

On the null controllability of a one-dimensional fluid–solid interaction model

We analyze the null controllability of a one-dimensional nonlinear system which models the interaction of a fluid and a particle. The fluid is governed by the Burgers equation and the control is exerted on the boundary points. We present two main results: the global null controllability of a linearized system and the local null controllability of the nonlinear original model. The proofs rely on appropriate global Carleman inequalities and fixed point arguments. To cite this article: A. Doubova, E. Fernández-Cara, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 337 (2003).     

Multiple positive solutions for a class of integral inclusions

This paper deals with sufficient conditions for the existence of at least two positive solutions for a class of integral inclusions arising in the traffic theory. To show our main results, we apply a norm-type expansion and compression fixed point theorem for multivalued map due to Agarwal and O’Regan [A note on the existence of multiple fixed points for multivalued maps with applications, J. Differential Equation 160 (2000) 389–403].     

Positive and sign-changing clusters around saddle points of the potential for nonlinear elliptic problems

We study the existence and asymptotic behavior of positive and sign-changing multipeak solutions for the equation $$ -\varepsilon^2\Delta v+V(x)v=f(v)\quad{\rm in}\,\,\,\mathbb{R}^N, $$ where ?? is a small positive parameter, f a superlinear, subcritical and odd nonlinearity, V a uniformly positive potential. No symmetry on V is assumed. It is known (Kang and Wei in Adv Differ Equ 5:899?C928, 2000) that this equation has positive multipeak solutions with all peaks approaching a local maximum of V. It is also proved that solutions alternating positive and negative spikes exist in the case of a minimum (see D??Aprile and Pistoia in Ann Inst H. Poincaré Anal Non Linéaire 26:1423?C1451, 2009). The aim of this paper is to show the existence of both positive and sign-changing multipeak solutions around a nondegenerate saddle point of V.

A generalized quasi-boundary value method for the backward semi-linear time-fractional heat problem in a cylinder

We are concerned with a backward problem associated with a semi-linear time-fractional heat equation in an axis-symmetric cylinder, which arises from the modeling of the blast furnace steelmaking in metallurgy. Under some assumptions, the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the semi-linear problem is first established. The ill-posedness of the backward problem is then established, and we obtain the error estimates by a generalized quasi-boundary value regularization method. Finally, the numerical experiment is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Lyapunov pairs for multi-valued semi-linear evolutions

We give here a characterization of a Lyapunov pair for a multi-valued semi-linear evolution equation on a Banach space by means of an appropriate lower contingent derivative. The contingent derivative introduced in this paper is related to a new concept of tangency introduced recently in [O. Cârj?, M. Necula, I.I. Vrabie, Necessary and sufficient conditions for viability for semilinear differential inclusions, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 361 (2009) 343-390]. As an application, we give a controllability result and a Lipschitz estimate of the corresponding minimum time function under a Petrov-like condition.

Action potential and weak KAM solutions

For convex superlinear lagrangians on a compact manifold M we characterize the Peierls barrier and the weak KAM solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, as defined by A. Fathi [9], in terms of their values at each static class and the action potential defined by R. Ma né [14]. When the manifold M is non-compact, we construct weak KAM solutions similarly to Busemann functions in riemannian geometry. We construct a compactification of by extending the Aubry set using these Busemann weak KAM solutions and characterize the set of weak KAM solutions using this extended Aubry set.
