On the Attainable Set for Temple Class Systems with Boundary Controls

Publication date 15 September 2005

Abstract: Consider the initial-boundary value problem for a strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear, Temple class system of conservation laws %

u_t+f(u)_x=0, qquad u(0,x)=ov u(x), qquad {{array}{ll} &u(t,a)=widetilde u_a(t), oalign{smallskip} &u(t,b)=widetilde u_b(t), {array}. eqno(1)

on the domain

O m e g a = (t, x) i n R^{2} : t g e q 0, a l e x l e q b .

We study the mixed problem (1) from the point of view of control theory, taking the initial data

fixed, and regarding the boundary data

w i d e t i l d e u_{a}, w i d e t i l d e u_{b}

as control functions that vary in prescribed sets

U_{a}, U_{b}

, of

l i

boundary controls. In particular, we consider the family of configurations

A(T) doteq �ig{u(T,cdot); ~ u { m is a sol. to} (1), quad widetilde u_ain U_a, widetilde u_b in U_b �ig}

that can be attained by the system at a given time

T > 0

, and we give a description of the attainable set

A (T)

in terms of suitable Oleinik-type conditions. We also establish closure and compactness of the set

A (T)

in the

l u

topology.
