Uniform indirect boundary controllability of semi-discrete 1-\(d\) coupled wave equations (Q828987): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors have studied the problem of uniform exact boundary controllability for the finite-difference space semi-discretization of the \(1-d\) coupled wave equations with a control acting only in one equation. First, they showed that after filtering the high frequencies of the discrete initial data in an appropriate way how one can construct a sequence of uniformly (with respect to the mesh size) bounded controls. It is proved that the weak limit of the aforementioned sequence is a control for the continuous system. The proof of the results is based on the moment method and on the construction of an explicit biorthogonal sequence. In the end they provided some open problems.
