Regularity and stability of two coupled Euler-Bernoulli equations with a localized singular structural damping

This paper is concerned with the study of regularity and stability properties of two Euler-Bernoulli beam equations with localized singular damping. Under suitable regularity assumptions on the damping coefficient, we establish Gevrey regularity for the semigroup generated by the associated operator. Furthermore, for a broader class of damping mechanisms, including less regular damping, we derive uniform stability result. These findings provide a detailed description of the long-term behavior of the corresponding dynamical systems.

Bilinear optimal stabilization of a non-homogeneous Fokker-Planck equation

In this work, we study the bilinear optimal stabilization of a non-homogeneous Fokker-Planck equation. We first study the problem of optimal control in a finite-time interval and then focus on the case of the infinite time horizon. We further show that the obtained optimal control guarantees the strong stability of the system at hand. An illustrating numerical example is given.

Regularity and stability of the semigroup associated with some interacting elastic systems I: A degenerate damping case

In this paper, we examine regularity and stability issues for two damped abstract elastic systems. The damping involves the average velocity and a fractional power $θ$, with $θ$ in $[-1,1]$, of the principal operator. The matrix operator defining the damping mechanism for the coupled system is degenerate. First, we prove that for $θ$ in $(1/2,1]$, the underlying semigroup is not analytic, but is differentiable for $θ$ in $(0,1)$; this is in sharp contrast with known results for a single similarly damped elastic system, where the semigroup is analytic for $θ$ in $[1/2,1]$; this shows that the degeneracy dominates the dynamics of the interacting systems, preventing analyticity in that range. Next, we show that for $θ$ in $(0,1/2]$, the semigroup is of certain Gevrey classes. Finally, we show that the semigroup decays exponentially for $θ$ in $[0,1]$, and polynomially for $θ$ in $[-1,0)$. To prove our results, we use the frequency domain method, which relies on resolvent estimates. Optimality of our resolvent estimates is also established. Several examples of application are provided.

Improved results on the nonlinear feedback stabilization of a rotating body-beam system

This article is dedicated to the investigation of the stabilization problem of a flexible beam attached to the center of a rotating disk. We assume that the feedback law contains a nonlinear torque control applied on the disk and nonlinear boundary controls exerted on the beam. Thereafter, it is proved that the proposed controls guarantee the exponential stability of the system under a realistic smallness condition on the angular velocity of the disk and general assumptions on the nonlinear functions governing the controls. We used here the strategy of Lasiecka and Tataru and Alabau-Boussouira. This permits to improve the stability result shown in \cite{CH:99} in the sense that, on one hand, we deal with a general form of the nonlinear functions involved in the boundary controls. On the other hand, we manage to weaken the conditions on those functions unlike in B. Chentouf and J. F. Couchouron, Nonlinear feedback stabilization of a rotating body-beam without damping, ESAIM: COCV., 4 (1999), 515-535, where the authors consider a special type of functions that are almost linear.

Feedback stabilization of linear and bilinear unbounded systems in Banach space

We consider linear control systems of the form $\dot{y}(t)=Ay(t)-μB C y(t)$ where $μ$ is a positive real parameter, $A$ is the state operator and generates a linear $C_0-$semigroup of contractions $S(t) $ on a Banach space $X$, $B$ and $C$ are respectively the operators of control and observability, which are defined in appropriate spaces in which they are unbounded in some sense. We aim to show the exponential stability of the above system under sufficient conditions which are expressed in term of admissibility and observability properties. The uniform exponential stabilization using bilinear control is considered as well. Applications to transport and heat equations are also provided.

Stabilization of the nonlinear damped wave equation via linear weak observability

We consider the problem of energy decay rates for nonlinearly damped abstract infinite dimensional systems. We prove sharp, simple and quasi-optimal energy decay rates through an indirect method, namely a weak observability estimate for the corresponding undamped system. One of the main advantage of these results is that they allow to combine the optimal-weight convexity method of Alabau-Boussouira and a methodology of Ammari-Tucsnak for weak stabilization by observability. Our results extend to nonlinearly damped systems, those of Ammari and Tucsnak. At the end, we give an appendix on the weak stabilization of linear evolution systems.

Stabilization of abstract thermo-elastic semigroup

In this paper we characterize the stabilization for some thermo-elastic type system with Cattaneo law and we prove that the exponential or polynomial stability of this system implies a polynomial stability of the correspond thermoelastic system with the Fourier law. The proof of the main results uses, respectively, the methodology introduced in Ammari and Tucsnak, where the exponential stability for the closed loop problem is reduced to an observability estimate for the corresponding uncontrolled system and a characterization, of the polynomial stability for C0-semigroup in Hilbert space by a polynomial estimation of the associated resolvante of the generator of this semigroup, obtained by Borichev-Tomilov.

Polynomial stabilization of some dissipative hyperbolic systems

We study the problem of stabilization for the acoustic system with a spatially distributed damping. Imposing various hypotheses on the structural properties of the damping term, we identify either exponential or polynomial decay of solutions with growing time. Expo- nential decay rate is shown by means of a time domain approach, reducing the problem to an observability inequality to be verified for solutions of the associated conservative problem. In addition, we show a polynomial stabilization result, where the proof uses a frequency domain method and combines a contradiction argument with the multiplier technique to carry out a special analysis for the resolvent.

Stabilization of coupled second order systems with delay

In this paper we characterize the output feedback stabilization of some coupled systems with delay. The proof of the main result uses the method introduced in Ammari and Tucsnak \cite{at} where the exponential stability for the closed loop system is reduced to an observability estimate for the corresponding conservative adjoint system, under a boundedness condition of the transfer function of the associated open loop system.

Spectral analysis and stabilization of a chain of serially connected Euler-Bernoulli beams and strings

We consider $N$ Euler-Bernoulli beams and $N$ strings alternatively connected to one another and forming a particular network which is a chain beginning with a string. We study two stabilization problems on the same network and the spectrum of the corresponding conservative system: the characteristic equation as well as its asymptotic behavior are given. We prove that the energy of the solutions of the first dissipative system tends to zero when the time tends to infinity under some irrationality assumptions of the length of the strings and beams. On another hand we prove a polynomial decay result of the energy of the second system, independently of the length of the strings and beams, for all regular initial data. Our technique is based on a frequency domain method and combines a contradiction argument with the multiplier technique to carry out a special analysis for the resolvent.
