Control Norms for Large Control Times
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 August 2002
Abstract
A control system of the second order in time with control $u=u(t) \in L^2([0,T];U)$ is considered. If the system is controllable in a strong sense and uT is the control steering the system to the rest at time T, then the L2–norm of uT decreases as $1/\sqrt T$ while the $L^1([0,T];U)$–norm of uT is approximately constant. The proof is based on the moment approach and properties of the relevant exponential family. Results are applied to the wave equation with boundary or distributed controls.
