Abstract

The paper deals with a dynamical system \begin{align*} &u_{tt}-\Delta u=0, \qquad (x,t) \in {\mathbb R}^3 \times (-\infty,0) \\ &u \mid_{|x|<-t} =0 , \qquad t<0\\ &\lim_{s \to \infty} su((s+\tau)\omega,-s)=f(\tau,\omega), \qquad (\tau,\omega) \in [0,\infty)\times S^2\,, \end{align*} where u=uf(x,t)u=u^f(x,t) is a solution ({\it wave}), fF:=L2([0,);L2(S2))f \in {\cal F} :=L_2\left([0,\infty);L_2\left(S^2\right)\right) is a {\it control}. For the reachable sets Uξ:={uf(,ξ)fF}(ξ0){\cal U}^\xi:=\{u^f(\cdot, -\xi)\,|\,\, f \in {\cal F}\}\,\,(\xi\geqslant 0), the embedding UξHξ:={yL2(R3)yx<ξ=0}{\cal U}^\xi \subset {\cal H}^\xi:=\{y \in L_2({\mathbb R}^3)\,|\,\,\,y|_{|x|<\xi}=0\} holds, whereas the subspaces Dξ:=HξUξ{\cal D}^\xi:={\cal H}^\xi \ominus {\cal U}^\xi of unreachable ({\it unobservable}) states are nonzero for ξ>0\xi> 0. There was a conjecture motivated by some geometrical optics arguments that the elements of Dξ{\cal D}^\xi are CC^\infty-smooth with respect to x|x|. We provide rather unexpected counterexamples of hDξh\in {\cal D}^\xi with singsupph{xR3x=ξ0>ξ}{\rm sing\,supp\,}h \subset \{x\in{\mathbb R}^3|\,\,|x|=\xi_0>\xi\}.
