Abstract

A vibrating plate is here taken to satisfy the model equation:u_tt + Δ²u = 0 (whereΔ²u:= Δ(Δu); Δ = Laplacian) with boundary conditions of the form:u_v = 0 and(Δu)_v = ϕ = control. Thus, the state is the pair [u, u_t] and controllability means existence ofϕ on Σ:= (0,T)×∂Ω transfering ‘any’[u, u_t]₀ to ‘any’[u, u_t]_T. The formulation is given by eigenfunction expansion and duality. The substantive results apply to a rectangular plate. For largeT one has such controllability with∥ϕ∥ = O(T^−1/2). More surprising is that (based on a harmonic analysis estimate [11]) one has controllability for arbitrarily short times (in contrast to the wave equation:u_tt = Δu) with log∥ϕ∥ = O(T⁻¹) asT→0. Some related results on minimum time control are also included.
