Observability and controllability for a vibrating string with dynamical boundary control

Ali Wehbe

Abstract:
We consider the exact controllability of a wave equation by means of dynamical boundary control. Unlike the classical control, a difficulty is due to the presence of the dynamical type. First, we establish a new weak observability results. Next, by the HUM method, we prove that the system is exactly controllable by means of regular dynamical boundary control.
