Exact controllability for the wave equation on a metric graph consisting of a cycle and two attached edges is proven. One boundary and one internal control are used. At the internal vertices, delta-prime conditions are satisfied. As a…
We study the boundary control problems for the wave, heat, and Schr\"odinger equations on a finite graph. We suppose that the graph is a tree (i.e., it does not contain cycles), and on each edge an equation is defined. The control is acting…
In this paper we study the exact controllability problem for the wave equation on a finite metric graph with the Kirchhoff-Neumann matching conditions. Among all vertices and edges we choose certain active vertices and edges, and give a…
Exact controllability is proven on a graph with cycle. The controls can be a mix of controls applied at the boundary and interior vertices. The method of proof first uses a dynamical argument to prove shape controllability and velocity…
In this note we study the control problem for the heat equation on $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$, with control set $\omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition (called $(\gamma, a)$-\emph{thickness}) on $\omega$…
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…

This paper is devoted to prove the exact controllability of a system of N one-dimensional coupled wave equations when the control is exerted on a part of the boundary by means of one control. We consider the case where the coupling matrix A…
The question of what conditions should be set at the nodes of a discrete graph for the wave equation with discrete time is investigated. The variational method for the derivation of these conditions is used. A parallel with the continuous…
We make two remarks about the null-controllability of the heat equation with Dirichlet condition in unbounded domains. Firstly, we give a geometric necessary condition (for interior null-controllability in the Euclidean setting)which…
We study the controllability of the multidimensional wave equation in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary condition, in which the support of the control is allowed to change over time. The exact controllability is reduced to the proof…
In this work, we present some easily verifiable sufficient conditions that guarantee the controllability of wave equations with non-constant coefficients. These conditions work as complements for those obtained by Peng-fei Yao in SIAM J.…

Characterizing graphs by their spectra is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has attracted a lot of attention of researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard and challenging to show a given graph to be determined…

This paper addresses questions regarding controllability for `generic parameter' dynamical systems, i.e. the question whether a dynamical system is `structurally controllable'. Unlike conventional methods that deal with structural…
