[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00015.] In the paper the following initial-boundary value problem for the wave equation with damping is considered \[ w_{tt}=\Delta w-Bw_ td \text{ in } (0,T]\times\Omega,\;w(0,\cdot)=w^ 0,\;w_ t(0,\cdot)=w^ 1 \text{ in } \Omega, \tag{1} \] \[ w\mid_{\Sigma_ 0}=0 \text{ in } (0,T]\times\Gamma_ 0=\Sigma_ 0,\quad w\mid_{\Sigma_ 1}=u \text{ in } (0,T]\times\Gamma_ 1=\Sigma_ 1, \] where \(\Omega\subset R^ n\), \(\partial\Omega=\Gamma_ 0\cup\Gamma_ 1\) and \(B\) is a bounded operator on \(L^ 2(\Omega)\). The author is interested in the following exact controllability (E.C.) problem on \([0,T]\) \((0<T<+\infty)\): Does there exist a suitable control \(u\in L^ 2(0,T;L^ 2(\Gamma_ 1))\) for any initial data \((w^ 0,^ 1)\subset L^ 2(\Omega)\times H^{-1}(\Omega)\) such that for the solution \(w\) of the above problem we have \(w(T,\cdot)=w_ t(T,\cdot)=0\)? Three theorems giving sufficient conditions for (E.C.) are proved. The simplest one states the ``openess property of (E.C.). Roughly speaking it reads: If the system (1) with \(B=0\) is exactly controllable on \([0,T]\), then there exists \(\delta>0\) such that for \(B\) with \(\| B\|<\delta\) the system (1) is also exactly controllable on \([0,T]\). For the case \(B=0\) the (E.C.) problem has been solved recently also for the wave equation with Neumann type control.
