Boundary Control for a Generalized Wave Equation -- Revisiting Russell's Method of Control

In this work we study the exact boundary controllability of a generalized wave equation in a nonsmooth domain with a nontrapping obstacle. In the more general case, this work contemplates the boundary control of a transmission problem admitting several zones of transmission. The result is obtained using the technique developed by David Russell, taking advantage of the local energy decay for the problem, obtained through the Scattering Theory as used by Vodev, combined with a powerful trace Theorem due to Tataru.

Dynamics of Riemann waves with sharp measure-controlled damping

This paper is concerned with locally damped semilinear wave equations defined on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We present a construction of measure-controlled damping regions which are sharp in the sense that their summed interior and boundary measures are arbitrarily small. The construction of this class of open sets is purely geometric and allows us to prove a new observability inequality in terms of potential energy rather than the usual one with kinetic energy. A unique continuation property is also proved. Then, in three-dimension spaces, we establish the existence of finite dimensional smooth global attractors for a class of wave equations with nonlinear damping and forces with critical Sobolev growth. In addition, by means of an obstacle control condition, we show that our class of measure-controlled regions satisfies the well-known geometric control condition (GCC). Therefore, many of known results for the stabilization of wave equations hold true in the present context.

Exponential Decay Rates for the Damped Korteweg-de Vries Type Equation

The exponential decay rate of $L^2-$norm related to the Korteweg-de Vries equation with localized damping posed on whole real line will be established. In addition, by using classical arguments we determine the $H^1-$norm of the solution associated to Korteweg-de Vries equation with damping in whole domain, can not have a decay property for an arbitrary initial data.
