Exact controllability and stabilizability of the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
(English)
[J] Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 348, No.9, 3643-3672 (1996). ISSN 0002-9947; ISSN 1088-6850/e

The paper studies the exact controllability and stabilizability problem of the KdV equation: $$\partial_tu+u \partial_xu+\partial^3_xu=f,\quad 0\le x\le 2\pi,\quad t\ge 0$$ with periodic boundary conditions: $\partial^k_xu(0,t)= \partial^k_xu(2\pi,t)$, $k=0,1,2$, where $f$ denotes a distributed control input such that $\int^{2\pi}_0 f dx=0$. The exact controllability problem with finite time $T$ is sought first for the linear equation: $\partial_tu+\partial^3_xu=f$ within the framework of the moment problem: It is solved by introducing an associated Riesz basis (eigenfunctions) and the dual Riesz basis. Then the problem for the original KdV equation is solved by interpreting the term $u\partial_xu$ as a control via a Fredholm operator. As to the stabilizability problem, the control $f$ is chosen as a feedback of the state $u$ which reduces $\int^{2\pi}_0 u^2dx$ monotonically. By establishing a discrete decay inequality first, an exponential decay estimate is finally obtained.
