Observability inequalities on lattice points are established for non-negative solutions of the heat equation with potentials in the whole space. As applications, some controllability results of heat equations are derived by the above-mentioned observability inequalities.
This paper concerns a controllability problem for blowup points on heat equation. It can be described as follows: In the absence of control, the solution to the linear heat system globally exists in a bounded domain $Omega$. While, for a given time $T>0$ and a point $a$ in this domain, we find a feedback control, which is acted on an internal subset $omega$ of this domain, such that the corresponding solution to this system blows up at time $T$ and holds unique point $a$. We show that $ain omega$ can be the unique blowup point of the corresponding solution with a certain feedback control, and for any feedback control, $ain Omegasetminus overline{omega}$ could not be the unique blowup point.
In this paper, we establish spectral inequalities on measurable sets of positive Lebesgue measure for the Stokes operator, as well as an observability inequalities on space-time measurable sets of positive measure for non-stationary Stokes system. Furthermore, we provide their applications in the theory of shape optimization and time optimal control problems.
We investigate observability and Lipschitz stability for the Heisenberg heat equation on the rectangular domain $$Omega = (-1,1)timesmathbb{T}timesmathbb{T}$$ taking as observation regions slices of the form $omega=(a,b) times mathbb{T} times mathbb{T}$ or tubes $omega = (a,b) times omega_y times mathbb{T}$, with $-1<a<b<1$. We prove that observability fails for an arbitrary time $T>0$ but both observability and Lipschitz stability hold true after a positive minimal time, which depends on the distance between $omega$ and the boundary of $Omega$: $$T_{min} geqslant frac{1}{8} min{(1+a)^2,(1-b)^2}.$$ Our proof follows a mixed strategy which combines the approach by Lebeau and Robbiano, which relies on Fourier decomposition, with Carleman inequalities for the heat equations that are solved by the Fourier modes. We extend the analysis to the unbounded domain $(-1,1)timesmathbb{T}timesmathbb{R}$.
In this paper, we consider the back and forth nudging algorithm that has been introduced for data assimilation purposes. It consists of iteratively and alternately solving forward and backward in time the model equation, with a feedback term to the observations. We consider the case of 1-dimensional transport equations, either viscous or inviscid, linear or not (Burgers equation). Our aim is to prove some theoretical results on the convergence, and convergence properties, of this algorithm. We show that for non viscous equations (both linear transport and Burgers), the convergence of the algorithm holds under observability conditions. Convergence can also be proven for viscous linear transport equations under some strong hypothesis, but not for viscous Burgers equation. Moreover, the convergence rate is always exponential in time. We also notice that the forward and backward system of equations is well posed when no nudging term is considered.
In this paper we study singular kinetic equations on $mathbb{R}^{2d}$ by the paracontrolled distribution method introduced in cite{GIP15}. We first develop paracontrolled calculus in the kinetic setting, and use it to establish the global well-posedness for the linear singular kinetic equations under the assumptions that the products of singular terms are well-defined. We also demonstrate how the required products can be defined in the case that singular term is a Gaussian random field by probabilistic calculation. Interestingly, although the terms in the zeroth Wiener chaos of regularization approximation are not zero, they converge in suitable weighted Besov spaces and no renormalization is required. As applications the global well-posedness for a nonlinear kinetic equation with singular coefficients is obtained by the entropy method. Moreover, we also solve the martingale problem for nonlinear kinetic distribution dependent stochastic differential equations with singular drifts.
