On the Approximate Controllability of Some Semilinear Parabolic Boundary-Value Problems

We prove the approximate controllability of several nonlinear parabolic boundary-value problems by means of two different methods: the first one can be called a Cancellation method and the second one uses the Kakutani fixed-point theorem. Accepted 10 June 1996     

Hamiltonian Pontryagin's Principles for Control Problems Governed by Semilinear Parabolic Equations

In this paper we study optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations. We obtain necessary optimality conditions in the form of an exact Pontryagin's minimum principle for distributed and boundary controls (which can be unbounded) and bounded initial controls. These optimality conditions are obtained thanks to new regularity results for linear and nonlinear parabolic equations. Accepted 17 March 1997     

Approximate Controllability of Nonlinear Delay Integro Differential Evolution Equations with Random Impulses

The basic concept of this research is to analyse the approximate controllability (AC) of a nonlinear delay integrodifferential evolution system (NDIDES) with random impulse of the type \begin{align*}&z''(\zeta)=\mathfrak{A}(\zeta)z(\zeta)+(\mathfrak{B}x)(\zeta)+\int_{0}^{\zeta}\mathcal{H}(\zeta, s,z(\beta(s))), \ \sigma_{q} <\zeta < \sigma_{q+1}, \ \zeta\in [\zeta_{0}, \mathcal{T}], \\ &z(\sigma_{q})=a_{q}(\tau_{q})z(\sigma^{-}_{q}), ~~q = 1,2,\ldots,\\ &z_{\zeta_{0}}=\upsilon,\end{align*} by assuming that the linear system is approximately controllable. The existence and uniqueness of the mild solution to above system have been determined by using the Banach contraction principle and trajectory accessible sets. We generalize the results for NDIDES with and without fixed-type impulsive moments.     

Approximate Controllability for the Semilinear Heat Equation Involving Gradient Terms

This paper deals with the approximate controllability of the semilinear heat equation, when the nonlinear term depends on both the state y and its spatial gradient y and the control acts on any nonempty open subset of the domain. Our proof relies on the fact that the nonlinearity is globally Lipschitz with respect to (y, y). The approximate controllability is viewed as the limit of a sequence of optimal control problems. Another key ingredient is a unique continuation property proved by Fabre (Ref. 1) in the context of linear heat equations. Finally, we prove that approximate controllability can be obtained simultaneously with exact controllability over finite-dimensional subspaces.

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations with Boundary Degeneracy

This paper concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to one-dimensional semilinear parabolic equations with boundary degeneracy both in bounded and unbounded intervals. For the problem in a bounded interval, it is shown that there exist both nontrivial global solutions for small initial data and blowing-up solutions for large one if the degeneracy is not strong. Whereas in the case that the degeneracy is strong enough, the nontrivial solution must blow up in a finite time. For the problem in an unbounded interval, blowing-up theorems of Fujita type are established. It is shown that the critical Fujita exponent depends on the degeneracy of the equation and the asymptotic behavior of the diffusion coefficient at infinity, and it may be equal to one or infinity. Furthermore, the critical case is proved to belong to the blowing-up case.     

A Free Boundary Problem Governed by Nonlinear Degenerate Equations of Parabolic Type

We consider a free boundary problem connected with non-Newtonian fluid motion, i.e. the flow of power law fluids with the yield stress. We obtain the solution of the relevant approximation problem by means of a parabolic quasi-variational inequality, and then obtain the weak solution of the original problem after a passage to the limit. Finally, we study the regularity of the weak solution.     

Null Controllability in Unbounded Domains for the Semilinear Heat Equation with Nonlinearities Involving Gradient Terms

We consider the null controllability problem for the semilinear heat equation with nonlinearities involving gradient terms in an unbounded domain of ^N with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The control is assumed to be distributed along a subdomain such that the uncontrolled region \ is bounded. Using Carleman inequalities, we prove first the null controllability of the linearized equation. Then, by a fixed-point method, we obtain the main result for the semilinear case. This result asserts that, when the nonlinearity is ^C1 and globally Lipschitz, the system is null controllable.

Exact Boundary Controllability for a Coupled System of Wave Equations with Neumann Boundary Controls

This paper first shows the exact boundary controllability for a coupled system of wave equations with Neumann boundary controls.In order to establish the corresponding observability inequality,the authors introduce a compact perturbation method which does not depend on the Riesz basis property,but depends only on the continuity of projection with respect to a weaker norm,which is obviously true in many cases of application.Next,in the case of fewer Neumann boundary controls,the non-exact boundary controllability for the initial data with the same level of energy is shown.     

Approximate Controllability for a Class of Abstract Second-Order Functional Evolution Equations

Results providing sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of a class of second-order abstract functional evolution equations governed by the generator of a strongly continuous cosine family of linear operators, together with nonlocal initial conditions, are developed. This work extends results included in recent work by Naito, Park, Zhou, and others. The abstract theory is then applied to a parabolic partial integrodifferential equation.
