Abstract
In this work, we deal with the heat equation perturbed by an anomalous diffusion term scaled by a large parameter. More precisely, we study the cost of null controllability for the system as the parameter goes to infinity. We show that is possible to construct null controls that exhibit exponential decay with respect to the parameter. Our study gives a positive answer to a conjecture raised by J.-L. Lions and E. Zuazua [Rev. Mat. Univ. Complut. Madrid, 10 (2)(1997), 481-524]. Additionally, using the so-called source term method and an inverse mapping theorem, we prove that it is possible to achieve controllability results for certain nonlinear systems with a control with a cost decaying to zero as well.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1981 by two of the pre-eminent control theorists, Roger Brockett and Jan Willems, Systems & Control Letters is one of the leading journals in the field of control theory. The aim of the journal is to allow dissemination of relatively concise but highly original contributions whose high initial quality enables a relatively rapid review process. All aspects of the fields of systems and control are covered, especially mathematically-oriented and theoretical papers that have a clear relevance to engineering, physical and biological sciences, and even economics. Application-oriented papers with sophisticated and rigorous mathematical elements are also welcome.
