Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the controllability of the point vortex system by means of a single vortex. The point vortex system is a well-known simplied model for the incompressible Euler equation, where the vorticity is concentrated in a nite number of Dirac masses. We use one of the vortices as a control, and prove that by suitably choosing its trajectory, we can drive all other vortices to a given prescribed position in arbitrary time.
