Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

For the string equation controlled by boundary conditions, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for 0-and ε-controllability. The controls that solve such problems are found in explicit form. Moreover, using the Markov trigonometric moment problem, we construct bangbang controls that solve the problem of ε-controllability.
