Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the null controllability of nonlinear wave systems. Initially, we employ a combination of the Galerkin method and a fixed point theorem to establish the null controllability for semi-linear wave equations with nonlinear functions that are dependent on velocities, under the geometric control condition. Subsequently, utilizing a novel iterative method, we demonstrate the null controllability for a class of quasi-linear wave systems in a constructive manner. Lastly, we present a control result for a class of fully nonlinear wave systems, serving as an application.
