Vibrational stabilizability of distributed parameter systems (Q760400)

Stabilizability of linear distributed parameter systems by introduction of zero mean oscillations in the system coefficients is analysed. By means of a finite dimensional approximation a condition for vibrational stabilizability of a second order (with respect to time) partial differential equation is given. As an example of vibrational stabilization of nonlinear systems the stabilization condition for the hydrodynamic equations of the Bénard problem is derived.
