Non null controllability of Stokes equations with memory

Enrique Fernández-Cara, José Lucas F. Machado, Diego A. Souza

Abstract

In this paper, we study the null controllability of the three-dimensional Stokes equations with a memory term. For any positive final time $T>0$, we construct initial conditions such that the null controllability does not hold even if the controls act on the whole boundary. Moreover, we also prove that this negative result holds for distributed controls.

Abstract

For any positive final time , we construct initial conditions such that the null controllability does not hold even if the controls act on the whole boundary. Moreover, we also prove that this negative result holds for distributed controls.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Let $T>0$ be given. There exists initial data $y^0 \in H(\Omega)$ such that, for any control $v \in L^2(\gamma\times(0,T))$, the associated solution to eq_stokes+memory is not identically zero at time $T$.
