No label defined (Q4247041)

The paper deals with an exact controllability problem for three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. More precisely, for a given initial value \(u_0(x)\) of the velocity field defined in a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3\), the author constructs a boundary Dirichlet condition \(z(x,t)\), \((x,t)\in\partial\Omega\times [0,T]\), such the solution \(u(x,t)\) of the above-mentioned initial-boundary value problem vanishes at \(t=T\). Moreover, it is proved that the control function \(z(x,t)\) provides an exponential decay as \(t\to T\), namely \(\|u(x,t)\|_{H^3(\Omega)}\leq C\cdot\exp(- k(T- t)^2)\) as \(t\to T\), with suitable constants \(C>0\), \(k>0\).
