In this paper, we study the observability and controllability of wave equations coupled by first or zero order terms on a compact manifold. We adopt the approach in Dehman-Lebeau's paper \cite{DehmanLebeau09} to prove that: the weak…

In this paper, we study the exact controllability and stabilization of a system of two wave equations coupled by velocities with an internal, local control acting on only one equation. We distinguish two cases. In the first one, when the…
We characterize the observability property (and, by duality, the controllability and the stabilization) of the wave equation on a Riemannian manifold $\Omega,$ with or without boundary, where the observation (or control) domain is…
We consider the wave equation on a closed Riemannian manifold. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset $\omega$ along a time interval $[0, T]$ with $T>0$. It is well known that, if $\omega$ is open and if the pair…
The celebrated geometric control condition of Bardos, Lebeau, and Rauch is necessary and sufficient for wave observability [1,7] and exact controllability. It requires that any point in phase-space be transported by the generalized geodesic…
Solutions of a system of wave equations are constructed for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions at every regularity level. We prove that boundary observability, and thus boundary exact controllability, at some…
We study the wave equation in an interval with two linearly moving endpoints. We give the exact solution by a series formula, then we show that the energy of the solution decay at the rate $1/t$. We also establish observability results, at…
The present article discusses the exact observability of the wave equation when the observation subset of the boundary is variable in time. In the one-dimensional case, we prove an equivalent condition for the exact observability, which…
We prove boundary controllability results for wave equations (with lower-order terms) on Lorentzian manifolds with time-dependent geometry satisfying suitable curvature bounds. The main ingredient is a novel global Carleman estimate on…
We investigate trend to equilibrium for the damped wave equation with a confining potential in the Euclidean space. We provide with necessary and sufficient geometric conditions for the energy to decay exponentially uniformly. The proofs…
We establish new Carleman estimates for the wave equation, which we then apply to derive novel observability inequalities for a general class of linear wave equations. The main features of these inequalities are that (a) they apply to a…
We establish sharp regional observability results for solutions of the wave equation in a bounded domain of $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, in case where the geometric control condition is not satisfied. Assuming that the waves are observed…
The problem of estimating the initial state of 1-D wave equations with globally Lipschitz nonlinearities from boundary measurements on a finite interval was solved recently by using the sequence of forward and backward observers, and…
