A generalization of the Kalman rank condition for time-dependent coupled linear parabolic systems

In this paper we present a generalization of the Kalman rank condition for linear ordinary differential systems to the case of systems of n coupled parabolic equations (posed in the time interval (0,T) with T > 0) where the coupling matrices A and B depend on the time variable t . To be precise,...

Sumario:In this paper we present a generalization of the Kalman rank condition for linear ordinary differential systems to the case of systems of n coupled parabolic equations (posed in the time interval (0,T) with T > 0) where the coupling matrices A and B depend on the time variable t . To be precise, we will prove that the Kalman rank condition rank [A|B](t0) = n, with t0 ∈ [0,T], is a sufficient condition (but not necessary) for obtaining the exact controllability to the trajectories of the considered parabolic system. In the case of analytic matrices A and B (and, in particular, constant matrices), we will see that the Kalman rank condition characterizes the controllability properties of the system. When the matrices A and B are constant and condition rank [A|B] = n holds, we will be able to state a Carleman inequality for the corresponding adjoint problem.
