Boundary controllability and observability of coupled wave equations with memory

Ti-Jun Xiao, Zhe Xu

Abstract:
In this article we consider the controllability for a system of coupled wave equations with memory. We reduce the control problem to a moment problem which can be solved by showing the Riesz property of the associated families of functions. In that way, we obtain (direct or indirect) boundary observability inequalities and boundary controllability of the system.
