We investigate the problem of optimizing the shape and location of sensors and actuators for evolution systems driven by distributed parameter systems or partial differential equations (PDE). We consider wave, Schrödinger ...

This paper analyzes the convergence of optimal control problems for an evolution equation in a finite time-horizon [0, T] toward the limit steady state ones as T ?8. We focus on linear problems. We first consider linear ...

In this paper, we consider the homogeneous one-dimensional wave equation on [0,π] with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and observe its solutions on a subset ω of [0,π]. Let L∈(0,1). We investigate the problem of maximizing ...

The goal of this note is to explain how transmutation techniques (originally introduced in [14] in the context of the control of the heat equation, inspired on the classical Kannai transform, and recently revisited in [4] ...

We prove a regularity result for an abstract control problem z' = Az + Bv with initial datum z(0) = z0 in which the goal is to determine a control v such that z(T) = 0. Under standard admissibility and observability ...

We address the question of exact controllability of the wave and Schrodinger equa\-tions perturbed by a singular inverse-square potential. Exact boundary controllability is proved in the range of subcritical coefficients ...

In this paper we study the exact boundary controllability of a trapezoidal time discrete wave equation in a bounded domain. We prove that the projection of the solution in an appropriate filtered space is exactly controllable ...
