Remarks on global controllability for the Burgers equation with two control forces

In this paper we deal with the viscous Burgers equation. We study the exact controllability properties of this equation with general initial condition when the boundary control is acting at both endpoints of the interval. In a first result, we prove that the global exact null controllability does not hold for small time. In a second one, we prove that the exact controllability result does not hold even for large time.     

APPROXIMATION, STABILITY AND FAST EVALUATION OF EXACT ARTIFICIAL BOUNDARY CONDITION FOR THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL HEAT EQUATION

In this paper we consider the numerical solution of the one-dimensional heat equation on unbounded domains. First an exact semi-discrete artificial boundary condition is derived by discretizing the time variable with the Crank-Nicolson method. The semi-discretized heat equation equipped with this boundary condition is then proved to be unconditionally stable, and its solution is shown to have second-order accuracy. In order to reduce the computational cost, we develop a new fast evaluation method for the convolution operation involved in the exact semi-discrete artificial boundary condition. A great advantage of this method is that the unconditional stability held by the semi-discretized heat equation is preserved. An error estimate is also given to show the dependence of numerical errors on the time step and the approximation accuracy of the convolution kernel. Finally, a simple numerical example is presented to validate the theoretical results.     

Some exact controllability results for the linear KdV equation and uniform controllability in the zero-dispersion limit

In this paper, we deal with controllability properties of linear and nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries equations in a bounded interval. The main part of this paper is a result of uniform controllability of a linear KdV equation in the limit of zero-dispersion. Moreover, we establish a result of null controllability for the linear equation via the left Dirichlet boundary condition, and of exact controllability via both Dirichlet boundary conditions. As a consequence, we obtain some local exact controllability results for the nonlinear KdV equation. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Controllability of nonlinear third order dispersion equation with distributed delay

This paper is concerned with the exact controllability of nonlinear third order dispersion equation with infinite distributed delay. Sufficient conditions are formulated and proved for the exact controllability of this system. Without imposing a compactness condition on the semigroup, we establish controllability results by using a fixed point analysis approach.     

THE ARTIFICIAL BOUNDARY CONDITION FOR EXTERIOR OSEEN EQUATION IN 2-D SPACE

A finite element method for the solution of Oseen equation in exterior domain is proposed. In this method, a circular artificial boundary is introduced to make the computational domain finite. Then, the exact relation between the normal stress and the prescribed velocity field on the artificial boundary can be obtained analytically. This relation can serve as an boundary condition for the boundary value problem defined on the finite domain bounded by the artificial boundary. Numerical experiment is presented to demonstrate the performance of the method.     

Exact controllability for some degenerate wave equations

In this paper, we study one-dimensional linear degenerate wave equations with a distributed controller. We establish observability inequalities for degenerate wave equation by multiplier method. We also deduce the exact controllability for degenerate wave equation by Hilbert uniqueness method when the control acts on the nondegenerate boundary. Moreover, an explicit expression for the controllability time is given.     

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.     

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.     

Boundary controllability for the semilinear Schrödinger equations on Riemannian manifolds

We study the boundary exact controllability for the semilinear Schrödinger equation defined on an open, bounded, connected set Ω of a complete, n-dimensional, Riemannian manifold M with metric g. We prove the locally exact controllability around the equilibria under some checkable geometrical conditions. Our results show that exact controllability is geometrical characters of a Riemannian metric, given by the coefficients and equilibria of the semilinear Schrödinger equation. We then establish the globally exact controllability in such a way that the state of the semilinear Schrödinger equation moves from an equilibrium in one location to an equilibrium in another location.     

A Note on the Singular Limit of the Exact Controllability of Dissipative Wave Equations

Abstract In this note we analyze the exact controllability of singularly perturbed damped wave equations under more general geometric control condition than that of [1]. We show that the null controllability of the heat equation can be obtained as a singular limit of the exact controllability of such sorts of wave equations.

Local exact controllability of Schr\"{o}dinger equation with Sturm- Liouville boundary value problems

In this paper, we investigate the controllability of 1D bilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with Sturm-Liouville boundary value condition. The system represents a quantumn particle controlled by an electric field. K. Beauchard and C. Laurent have proved local controllability of 1D bilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with Dirichlet boundary value condition in some suitable Sobolev space based on the classical inverse mapping theorem. Using a similar method, we extend this result to Sturm-Liouville boundary value proplems.     

The Controllability of the Gurtin-Pipkin Equation: A Cosine Operator Approach

In this paper we give a semigroup-based definition of the solution of the Gurtin-Pipkin equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. It turns out that the dominant term of the input-to-state map is the control to displacement operator of the wave equation. This operator is surjective if the time interval is long enough. We use this observation in order to prove exact controllability in finite time of the Gurtin-Pipkin equation.     

Exact controllability of the wave equation with time-dependent and variable coefficients

This paper deals with boundary exact controllability for the dynamics governed by the wave equation with variable coefficients in time and space, subject to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary controls. The observability inequalities are established by the Riemannian geometry method under some geometric conditions.     

Exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations with dynamical boundary conditions

By equivalently replacing the dynamical boundary condition by a kind of nonlocal boundary conditions, and noting a hidden regularity of solution on the boundary with a dynamical boundary condition, a constructive method with modular structure is used to get the local exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations with dynamical boundary conditions.

Boundary Controllability for the Quasilinear Wave Equation

We study the boundary exact controllability for the quasilinear wave equation in high dimensions. Our main tool is the geometric analysis. We derive the existence of long time solutions near an equilibrium, prove the locally exact controllability around the equilibrium under some checkable geometrical conditions. We then establish the globally exact controllability in such a way that the state of the quasilinear wave equation moves from an equilibrium in one location to an equilibrium in another location under some geometrical conditions. The Dirichlet action and the Neumann action are studied, respectively. Our results show that exact controllability is geometrical characters of a Riemannian metric, given by the coefficients and equilibria of the quasilinear wave equation. A criterion of exact controllability is given, which based on the sectional curvature of the Riemann metric. Some examples are presented to verify the global exact controllability.     

Controllability and observability of a heat equation with hyperbolic memory kernel

The exact controllability and observability for a heat equation with hyperbolic memory kernel in anisotropic and nonhomogeneous media are considered. Due to the appearance of such a kind of memory, the speed of propagation for solutions to the heat equation is finite and the corresponding controllability property has a certain nature similar to hyperbolic equations, and is significantly different from that of the usual parabolic equations. By means of Carleman estimate, we establish a positive controllability and observability result under some geometric condition. On the other hand, by a careful construction of highly concentrated approximate solutions to hyperbolic equations with memory, we present a negative controllability and observability result when the geometric condition is not satisfied.     

Global exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations

Based on the local exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations, the global exact boundary controllability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations in a neighborbood of any connected set of constant equilibria is obtained by an extension method. Similar results are also given for a kind of general 1‐D quasilinear hyperbolic equations. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exact controllability of the nonlinear third-order dispersion equation

Exact controllability of a nonlinear dispersion system has been studied. This work extends the work of Russell and Zhang [D.L. Russell, B.Y. Zhang, Controllability and stabilizability of the third-order linear dispersion equation on a periodic domain, SIAM J. Control Optim. 31 (1993) 659-676], in which the authors considered a linear dispersion system. We obtain controllability results using two standard types of nonlinearities, namely, Lipschitzian and monotone. We also obtain the exact controllability of the same system through the approach of Integral Contractors which is a weaker condition than Lipschitz condition.
