Boundary null-controllability for the beam equation with classical structural damping

Julian Edward, Sergei Avdonin

The damped beam equation reaches null state from the boundary for every damping strength up to 2 and for almost every strength above 2.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We prove null controllability for all ρ ≤ 2. For ρ >2, we show null controllability for arbitrary T>0 holds for almost all ρ, but fails for a dense subset of (2,∞).

C2weakest assumption

The well-posedness of the damped beam equation under the specified boundary conditions and the validity of the controllability criteria (such as observability inequalities) for the given ranges of ρ.

C3one line summary

Null controllability holds for the beam equation with structural damping ρ for all ρ ≤ 2 and almost all ρ > 2.
