Local controllability of a nonlinear shallow spherical shell

From MaRDI portal





The author examines the problem of controlling a nonlinear thin shallow spherical shell from the origin to a point in some neighbourhood of the origin by means of the boundary control. The control is implemented through moment and forces applied to the open edge of the shell, while keeping the shell clamped at the apex. To prove the existence of control, the author gives an abstract formulation of the problem in weighted Sobolev spaces, by using the corresponding semigroup. Then exact controllability is established for a linearized system, which allows to prove the well-posedness of the nonlinear abstract problem, and finally, by employing a differentiable control-to-state map, to construct the desired local control for the original problem.
