Local controllability of a nonlinear wave equation

We obtain results on local controllability (near an equilibrium point) for a nonlinear wave equation, by application of an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Lee-Markus method of linearization. Controllability of the linearized equation is studied by application of results of Russell, and local co...

Sumario:We obtain results on local controllability (near an equilibrium point) for a nonlinear wave equation, by application of an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Lee-Markus method of linearization. Controllability of the linearized equation is studied by application of results of Russell, and local controllability of the nonlinear equation follows from the inverse function theorem. We prove that every state that is sufficiently small in a sense made precise in the paper can be reached from the origin in a time T depending on the coefficients of the equation. © 1975 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
