Abstract

We consider a bilinear control problem for the wave equation on a torus of arbitrary dimension. We show that the system is globally approximately controllable in arbitrarily small times from a dense family of initial states. The control strategy is explicit, and based on a small-time limit of conjugated dynamics to move along non-directly accessible directions (a.k.a. Lie brackets of the generators).
