Abstract

We study controllability of dd-dimensional defocusing cubic Schroedinger equation under periodic boundary conditions. The control is applied additively, via a source term, which is a linear combination of few complex exponentials (modes) with time-variant coefficients - controls. We manage to prove that controlling at most 2d2^d modes one can achieve controllability of the equation in any finite-dimensional projection of the evolution space Hs(Td), s>d/2H^{s}(\mathbb{T}^d), \ s>d/2, as well as approximate controllability in Hs(Td)H^{s}(\mathbb{T}^d). We also present negative result regarding exact controllability of cubic Schroedinger equation via a finite-dimensional source term.
