The approximately synchronizable state for a kind of coupled system of wave equations

This paper deals with the approximately synchronizable state by groups for a kind of coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls. So far, the approximate boundary synchronization for a kind of coupled system of wave equations has already been deeply studied; however, the study on the approximately synchronizable state still needs to be done in details. In this paper, we will give some results on the determination of approximately synchronizable state by groups and the attainable set of them.     

On the generalized exact boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations

In this paper, we deliver a normalized synchronization transformation to study the generalized exact boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls. The clear relationship among the generalized exact boundary synchronization, the exact boundary null controllability, and the generalized exactly synchronizable states is precisely obtained. This approach gives further a forthright decomposition for the generalized exact boundary synchronization problem, whereby, we gain directly the determination of generalized exactly synchronizable states.     

Controllability of classical solutions implies controllability of weak solutions for a coupled system of wave equations and its application

In this paper, for a coupled system of one‐dimensional wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls, we show that the controllability of classical solutions implies the controllability of weak solutions. This conclusion can be applied in proving some results that are hardly obtained by a direct way in the framework of classical solutions. For instance, we strictly derive the necessary conditions for the exact boundary synchronization by two groups in the framework of classical solutions for the coupled system of wave equations.

Partial approximate boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls

In this paper, we propose the concept of partial approximate boundary synchronization for a coupled system of wave equations with Dirichlet boundary controls, and make a deep discussion on it. We analyze the relation-ship between the partial approximate boundary synchronization and the partial exact boundary synchronization, and obtain sufficient conditions to realize the partial approximate boundary synchronization and necessary conditions of Kalman's criterion. In addition, with the help of partial synchronization decomposition, a condition that the approximately synchronizable state does not depend on the sequence of boundary controls is also given.     

On exact boundary controllability for linearly coupled wave equations

In this paper we study exact boundary controllability for a system of two linear wave equations coupled by lower order terms. We obtain square integrable control of Neuman type for initial state with finite energy, in nonsmooth domains of the plane.     

A note on exact travelling wave solutions for the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations

Exact solutions for the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations by Liu et al. (2010) [Y.F. Liu, X.Y. Zhu, J.X. He, Factorization technique and new exact solutions for the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations, Appl. Math. Comput. 217 (2010) 1658-1665] are investigated. Liu et al. has used the factorization technique to reduce the modified Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations to first-order ordinary differential equations, and then derived some exact travelling wave solutions by direct integral method. In this note, we will explain that the implementation of the so-called factorization technique is completely unnecessary. Moreover, based on the method of complete discrimination system for polynomial, we shall demonstrate that the general explicit exact solution and its classification for the above two types of equations can be obtained directly and many exact solutions by Liu et al. are our special cases. Besides, some known results in previously relevant literatures are extended and some simple remarks are also made.     

Exact Internal Controllability and Synchronization for a Coupled System of Wave Equations*

Boundary controllability for the quasi-linear wave equations coupled in parallel

We study the boundary exact controllability for a system of two quasi-linear wave equations coupled in parallel with springs and viscous terms. We prove the locally exact controllability around superposition equilibria under some checkable geometrical conditions. We then establish the globally exact controllability in such a way that the state of the coupled quasi-linear system moves from a superposition equilibrium in one location to a superposition equilibrium in another location. Our results show that exact controllability is geometrical characters of a Riemannian metric, given by the coefficients and superposition equilibria of the system.     

Exact boundary controllability for non‐autonomous quasilinear wave equations

In this paper, we first show that quite different from the autonomous case, the exact boundary controllability for non‐autonomous wave equations possesses various possibilities. Then we adopt a constructive method to establish the exact boundary controllability for one‐dimensional non‐autonomous quasilinear wave equations with various types of boundary conditions. Finally, we apply the results to multi‐dimensional quasilinear wave equation with rotation invariance. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Asymptotic stability of the exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1D quasi-linear wave equations

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic stability of the exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1D quasi-linear wave equations. First, for 1D quasi-linear hyperbolic systems with zero eigenvalues, we establish the existence and uniqueness of semiglobal classical solution to the one-sided mixed initial-boundary value problem on a semibounded initial axis and discuss the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding solutions under different hypotheses on the initial data. Based on these results, we obtain the asymptotic stability of the exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1D quasi-linear wave equations on a semibounded time interval.     

Exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for quasilinear wave equations in a planar tree‐like network of strings

Based on the theory of semi‐global piecewise C² solutions to 1D quasilinear wave equations, the local exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for quasilinear wave equations in a planar tree‐like network of strings with general topology is obtained by a constructive method. The principles of providing nodal profiles and of choosing and transferring boundary controls are presented, respectively. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1-D quasilinear wave equations

Based on the theory of semi-global C ² solution for 1-D quasilinear wave equations, the local exact boundary controllability of nodal profile for 1-D quasilinear wave equations is obtained by a constructive method, and the corresponding global exact boundary controllability of nodal profile is also obtained under certain additional hypotheses.     

A note on a conjecture for the critical curve of a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with scale-invariant lower order terms

In this note, two blow-up results are proved for a weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations with distinct scale-invariant lower order terms both in the subcritical case and in the critical case when the damping and the mass terms make both equations in some sense “wave-like.” In the proof of the subcritical case, an iteration argument is used. This approach is based on a coupled system of nonlinear ordinary integral inequalities and lower bound estimates for the spatial integral of the nonlinearities. In the critical case, we employ a test function-type method that has been developed recently by Ikeda-Sobajima-Wakasa and relies strongly on a family of certain self-similar solutions of the adjoint linear equation. Therefore, as critical curve in the p−q plane of the exponents of the power nonlinearities for this weakly coupled system, we conjecture a shift of the critical curve for the corresponding weakly coupled system of semilinear wave equations.     

An asymptotic expansion of the solution to a system of integrodifferential equations with exact asymptotics for the remainder

We obtain an asymptotic expansion of the solution to a system of first order integrodifferential equations taking into account the influence of the roots of the characteristic equation. We establish exact asymptotics for the remainder in dependence on the asymptotic properties of original functions.     

On the decay and blow‐up of solution for coupled nonlinear wave equations with nonlinear damping and source terms

In this work, we consider a nonlinear coupled wave equations with initial‐boundary value conditions and nonlinear damping and source terms. Under suitable assumptions on the damping terms and source terms and initial data in the stable set, we obtain that the decay estimates of the energy function is exponential or polynomial by using Nakao's method. By using the energy method, we obtain the blow‐up result of solution with some positive or nonpositive initial energy. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow‐up analysis for a system of heat equations coupled via nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we study a system of heat equations coupled via nonlinear boundary conditions (1) Here p, q>0. We prove that the solutions always blow up in finite time for non‐trivial and non‐negative initial values. We also prove that the blow‐up occurs only on S_R = ?B_R for Ω = B_R = {x ? ?ⁿ:|x|<R}and under some assumptions on the initial values. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
