Abstract

In this article we consider a control problem of a linear Euler-Bernoulli damped beam equation with potential in dimension one with periodic boundary conditions. We derive a new Carleman estimate for an adjoint of the equation under consideration. Then using a well known duality argument we obtain explicitly the control function which can be used to drive the solution trajectory of the control problem to zero state.
