Opis

In a typical mathematical model of a controlled distributed parameter process one usually ?nds either boundary or internal locally distributed controls to serve as the means to describe the effect of external actuators on the process at hand. H- ever, these classical controls, enteringthe modelequationsas additive terms, are not suitable to deal with a vast array of processes that can change their principal intr- sic properties due to the control actions. Important examples here include (but not limitedto)thechainreaction-typeprocessesinbiomedical, nuclear, chemicalan- nancial applications, which can changetheir (reaction)rate when certain catalysts are applied, and the so-called smart materials, which can, for instance, alter their frequency response. The goal of this monograph is to address the issue of global controllability of partial differential equations in the context of multiplicative (or bilinear) c- trols, which enter the model equations as coef?cients. The mathematical models of our interest include the linear and nonlinear parabolic and hyperbolic PDE s, the Schrodi ] nger equation, and coupled hybrid nonlinear distributed parameter systems associated with the swimming phenomenon. Pullman, WA, USA Alexander Khapalov January 2010 vii Preface This monograph developed from the research conducted in 2001 2009 in the area of controllability theory of partial differential equations. The concept of control- bility is a principal component of Control Theory which was brought to life in the 1950 s by numerous applications in engineering, and has received the most sign- icant attention both from the engineering and the mathematical communities since then."

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This book offers a detailed study of controllability of infinite-dimensional control systems described by partial differential equations (PDEs), for which the control input appears in a multiplicative way in the differential equations. The book has features that are not often encountered simultaneously in the rest of the literature ... . the book is interesting and will have an impact on the topic of the controllability of infinite-dimensional systems. Rigorous proofs are provided for all the results contained in the book." (Iasson Karafyllis, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 h)

"In this book, the control of evolution processes governed by partial differential equations is studied. ... The book is well-written and a welcome addition to the bookshelf for mathematicians with interest in control theory and also researchers in control engineering." (Martin Gugat, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1210, 2011)

The goal of this monograph is to address the issue of the global controllability of partial differential equations in the context of multiplicative (or bilinear) controls, which enter the model equations as coefficients. The mathematical models we examine include the linear and nonlinear parabolic and hyperbolic PDE's, the Schrödinger equation, and coupled hybrid nonlinear distributed parameter systems modeling the swimming phenomenon. The book offers a new, high-quality and intrinsically nonlinear methodology to approach the aforementioned highly nonlinear controllability problems.
