Abstract

Let the matrix operator L=Dxx+q(x)A0L = D\partial_{xx} + q(x)A_0, with D=diag(1,ν)D = diag(1, \nu), ν1\nu \neq 1, qL(0,q \in L^{\infty} (0, \pi)), and A0A_0 is a Jordan block of order 1. We analyze the boundary null controllability for system ytLy=0y_t - Ly = 0. When νQ+ \nu \notin \mathbb{Q} ^*_+ and q(x)=1q(x) = 1, xx \in(0, (0, \pi)), there exists a family of root vectors of (L,D(L))(L * , D(L *)) forming a Riesz basis, moreover, F. Ammar Khodja, A.Benabdallah, M.Gonzalez-Burgos, L.Teresa, show the existence of a minimal time of control depending on condensation of eigenvalues of (L,D(L))(L^* , D(L^*)). But there exists qL(0,q \in L^{\infty} (0, \pi)) such that the family of eigenfunctions of (L,D(L))(L^* , D(L^*)) is complete but it is not a Riesz basis. In this framework new phenomena arise : simultaneous condensation of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. We prove the existence of a minimal time T0[0,+]T_0 \in [0, +\infty] depending on the condensation of eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of (L,D(L))(L^* , D(L^*)), such that the corresponding system is null controllable at any time T>T0T > T_0 and is not if T<T0T < T_0.
