Sharp estimates for biorthogonal families to exponential functions associated to complex sequences without gap conditions
Manuel González-Burgos, Lydia Ouaili
Abstract
The general goal of this work is to obtain upper and lower bounds for the $L^2$-norm of biorthogonal families to complex exponential functions associated to sequences $\{ Λ_k \}_{k \ge 1} \subset \mathbb C$ which satisfy appropriate assumptions but without imposing a gap condition on the elements of the sequence. As a consequence, we also present new results on the cost of the boundary null controllability of two parabolic systems at time $T > 0$: a phase-field system and a parabolic system whose generator has eigenvalues that accumulate. In the latter case, the behavior of the control cost when $T$ goes to zero depends strongly on the accumulation parameter of the eigenvalue sequence.
