Uniqueness theorems and exact boundary controllability of evolution systems

From MaRDI portal





In the first part of the paper, the author is concerned with linear boundary value problems of the form (\(u\) a vector-valued function): \[ u_{tt}+ A(x, D)u= 0 \] for \(x\in \Omega\); \(0< t\leq T\). \({\partial^ p u\over \partial v^ p}= 0\) on \(\partial\Omega\); \(p= 0,\dots, m-2\), and: \({\partial^{m-1} u\over \partial v^{m-1}}= 0\) on \(S_ 0\); \({\partial^{m-1} u\over \partial v^{m-1}}= q(x, t)\) on \(S_ 1\), where \(v\) is the unit outer normal on \(\partial\Omega\), \(\partial\Omega\) is the disjoint union of \(S_ 0\) and \(S_ 1\) and \(A\) is a strongly elliptic operator of order \(2m\). It is shown that, provided \(T\) is sufficiently large, for a large class of initial data \((u,u_ t)|_{t= 0}\), a boundary control function \(q\) can be found which ensures \((u,u_ t)|_{t= T}\equiv 0\). Also, if \(q\equiv 0\) then \(u\equiv 0\). A similar result for the Maxwell equations is also given.
