Exact controllability of the wave equation with Neumann boundary condition and time-dependent coefficients (Q1576397)

The author gives a result on exact controllability of the wave equation with Neumann boundary conditions and time-dependent coefficients. To this end, the Hilbert uniqueness method of J.-L. Lions along with multiplier techniques are used. In order to obtain the inverse inequality, the author gets a regularity result of the inverse problem, which is the main task of this article.
