Controllability of a linear system with persistent memory via boundary traction

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a linear viscoelastic system of Maxwell-Boltzmann type. Hence, viscosity contributes a memory term to the elastic equation. The system is controlled via the traction exerted on a part Gamma1 of the boundary of the body. We prove that if the associated elastic system (i.e. the elastic system without memory) is exactly controllable then the viscoelastic system is exactly controllable too. This is similar to the known result when the boundary deformation is controlled, but the proof is far more delicate since controllability under boundary traction corresponds to the fact that a certain sequence of functions is a Riesz-Fisher sequence, but not a Riesz sequence.
