In this paper we consider a constrained parabolic optimal control problem. The cost functional is quadratic and it combines the distance of the trajectory of the system from the desired evolution profile together with the cost of a control.…
Using a compactness-uniqueness approach, we show that the Fattorini criterion implies the exact controllability of general compactly perturbed controlled linear systems. We then apply this perturbation result to obtain new controllability…
