Controllability properties from the exterior under positivity constraints for a 1-D fractional heat equation (1910.14529v1)

Published 31 Oct 2019 in math.OC, cs.NA, math.AP, and math.NA

Abstract: We study the controllability to trajectories, under positivity constraints on the control or the state, of a one-dimensional heat equation involving the fractional Laplace operator $ (-\partial_x2)s$ (with $0<s<1$) on the interval $(-1,1)$. Our control function is localized in an open set $\mathcal O$ in the exterior of $(-1,1)$, that is, $\mathcal O\subset (\mathbb{R} \setminus (-1,1))$. We show that there exists a minimal (strictly positive) time $T_{\rm min}$ such that the fractional heat dynamics can be controlled from any initial datum in $L2(-1,1)$ to a positive trajectory through the action of an exterior positive control, if and only if $\frac 12<s<1$. In addition, we prove that at this minimal controllability time, the constrained controllability is achieved by means of a control that belongs to a certain space of Radon measures. Finally, we provide several numerical illustrations that confirm our theoretical results.
