Schrödinger equations in noncylindrical domains: exact controllability (Q884233)

Summary: We consider an open bounded set \(\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n\) and a family \(\{K(t)\}_{t\geq0}\) of orthogonal matrices of \(\mathbb R^n\). Set \(\Omega_t= \{x\in\mathbb R^n\); \(x=K(t)y\), for all \(y\in\Omega\}\), whose boundary is \(\Gamma_t\). We denote by \(\widehat{Q}\) the noncylindrical domain given by \(\widehat{Q}= \bigcup_{0<t<T}\{\Omega_t\times\{t\}\}\), with the regular lateral boundary \(\widehat{\Sigma}= \bigcup_{0<t<T}\{\Gamma_t\times\{t\}\}\). In this paper we investigate the boundary exact controllability for the linear Schrödinger equation \(u'-i\Delta u=f\) in \(\widehat{Q}\) \((i^2=-1)\), \(u=w\) on \(\widehat{\Sigma}\), \(u(x,0)= u_0(x)\) in \(\Omega_0\), where \(w\) is the control.
