Control and Stabilization of the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation on Rectangles

This paper studies the local exact controllability and the local stabilization of the semilinear Schr\"odinger equation posed on a product of $n$ intervals ($n\ge 1$). Both internal and boundary controls are considered, and the results are given with periodic (resp. Dirichlet or Neumann) boundary conditions. In the case of internal control, we obtain local controllability results which are sharp as far as the localization of the control region and the smoothness of the state space are concerned. It is also proved that for the linear Schr\"odinger equation with Dirichlet control, the exact controllability holds in $H^{-1}(\Omega)$ whenever the control region contains a neighborhood of a vertex.
