    A mixed formulation for the direct approximation of the control of minimal L2L^2-norm for linear type wave equations

    No full text
    This paper deals with the numerical computation of null controls for the wave equation with a potential. The goal is to compute approximations of controls that drive the solution from a prescribed initial state to zero at a large enough controllability time. In [\textit{Cindea, Fernandez-Cara \& Münch, Numerical controllability of the wave equation through primal methods and Carleman estimates, 2013}], a so called primal method is described leading to a strongly convergent approximation of boundary controls : the controls minimize quadratic weighted functionals involving both the control and the state and are obtained by solving the corresponding optimality condition. In this work, we adapt the method to approximate the control of minimal square-integrable norm. The optimality conditions of the problem are reformulated as a mixed formulation involving both the state and his adjoint. We prove the well-posedeness of the mixed formulation (in particular the inf-sup condition) then discuss several numerical experiments. The approach covers both the boundary and the inner controllability. For simplicity, we present the approach in the one dimensional case

    This paper deals with the numerical computation of distributed null controls for the 1D wave equation. We consider supports of the controls that may vary with respect to the time variable. The goal is to compute approximations of such controls that drive the solution from a prescribed initial state to zero at a large enough controllability time. Assuming a geometric optic condition on the support of the controls, we first prove a generalized observability inequality for the homogeneous wave equation. We then introduce and prove the well-posedness of a mixed formulation that characterizes the controls of minimal square-integrable norm. Such mixed formulation, introduced in [\textit{Cindea and Münch, A mixed formulation for the direct approximation of the control of minimal L2{L}^2-norm for linear type wave equations}], and solved in the framework of the (space-time) finite element method, is particularly well-adapted to address the case of time dependent support. Several numerical experiments are discussed

Din lotul studiat: băieţi - 33 (53,9%), fete - 28 (46,1%), a predominat vîrsta 13-15ani - 43 (69,8%). Printre pacienţii examinaţi au predominat cei cu sindrom algic „moderat” şi „grav”. Dereglări microcirculatorii au fost depistate la toate loturile de pacienţi cu sindrom algic. Intensitatea sindromului algic depinde direct de gradul insuficienţei microcirculatorii.According to the Higher Health Care Service, the vertebral etiologies painful syndromes reach the epidemical sizes - together with cardiovascular pathology they take the first and second place. The reasons capable to cause a painful syndrome are various, therefore in west medical literature it is defined, how a “low pain back syndrome”. The author investigated features of a painful syndrome at 61 children at the age from 9 to 18 with vertebral dorsopathy. He objectified these dates with using visual and verbal estimated scales and confronted their results with microcirculation state dates, which were got with dopler fluometry using

    Le but de cette thèse est d'étudier, du point de vue théorique, la contrôlabilité exacte de certaines équations aux dérivées partielles qui modélisent les vibrations élastiques, et d'appliquer les résultats ainsi obtenus à la résolution des problèmes inverses provenant de l'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Cette thèse comporte deux parties. La première partie discute la problématique de la contrôlabilité exacte, respectivement de l'observabilité exacte, de l'équation des plaques perturbées avec des termes linéaires ou non linéaires. Ainsi, dans le Chapitre 2 de cette thèse nous avons démontré l'observabilité interne exacte de l'équation des plaques perturbées par des termes linéaires d'ordre un et dans le Chapitre 3 la contrôlabilité exacte locale d'une équation des plaques non linéaire attribuée à Berger. Le Chapitre 4 introduit une méthode numérique pour l'approximation des contrôles exactes dans des systèmes d'ordre deux en temps. La deuxième partie de la thèse est dédiée à l'imagerie par résonance magnétique. Plus précisément, on s'intéresse aux méthodes de reconstruction des images pour des objets en mouvement. Dans le Chapitre 6, nous avons formulé la reconstruction d'images cardiaques acquises en respiration libre comme un problème des moments dans un espace de Hilbert à noyau reproductif. L'existence d'une solution pour un tel problème des moments est prouvée par des outils bien connus dans la théorie du contrôle. La connexion entre les deux parties de la thèse est réalisée par le Chapitre 7 où l'on présente le problème inverse d'identification d'un terme source dans l'équation des ondes à partir d'une observation correspondante à un enregistrement IRM.The aim of this thesis is to study the exact controllability and exact observability of some partial differential equations, modeling elastic vibrations of structures and to apply the results obtained in this way to solve some inverse problems provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This thesis has two parts. In the first part we study the exact controllability and exact observability of Euler-Bernoulli equation perturbed with linear or non-linear terms. Therefore, in Chapter 2 of this work we prove the internal exact observability of the Euler-Bernoulli equation perturbed by a linear term and in Chapter 3 we prove the local exact controllability of a non-linear plate equation due to Berger. Chapter 4 provide a numerical method to approximate the exact controls of vibrating systems. The second part of the thesis is centered to magnetic resonance imaging. More precisely, we are interested on the image reconstruction methods in magnetic resonance imaging of moving objects. Chapter 6 describe a method to reconstruct cardiac images from MR data acquired in free-breathing, reducing the image reconstruction to a problem of moments in a Hilbert space. The solution of this problem of moments is obtained using the same tools as in control theory. A more direct connexion between the two parts of the thesis is provided by Chapter 7 where we describe the inverse problem of the identification of a source term in the wave equation from a measure corresponding to a magnetic resonance signal

    The aim of this thesis is to study, from a theoretical point of view, the exact controllability of some partial differential equations modeling the vibrations of an elastic structure and to apply the to apply these theoretic results to solve some inverse problems coming from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This thesis has two parts. The first one, entitled "Controllability and observability of some plate equations", discuss the controllability and, by duality, the observability of some plate equations perturbed by some linear or nonlinear terms. The second part of the thesis concerns the magnetic resonance imaging. More precisely, we study some methods to reconstruct the magnetic resonance images of a moving object, the typical example being the cardiac imaging reconstruction from MRI data acquired in free-breathing.Le but de cette thèse est d'étudier, du point de vue théorique, la contrôlabilité exacte de certaines équations aux dérivées partielles qui modélisent les vibrations élastiques, et d'appliquer les résultats ainsi obtenus à la résolution des problèmes inverses provenant de l'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Cette thèse comporte deux parties. La première partie, intitulée ''Contrôlabilité et observabilité de quelques équations des plaques'', discute la problématique de la contrôlabilité, respectivement de l'observabilité, de l'équation des plaques perturbées avec des termes linéaires ou non linéaires. Des résultats récents ont prouvé que l'observabilité exacte d'un système qui modélise les vibrations d'une structures élastique (équation des ondes ou des plaques) implique l'existence d'une solution du problème inverse de la récupération d'un terme source dans l'équation à partir de l'observation. Ainsi, dans le Chapitre 2 de cette thèse nous avons démontré l'observabilité interne exacte de l'équation des plaques perturbées par des termes linéaires d'ordre un et dans le Chapitre 3 la contrôlabilité exacte locale d'une équation des plaques non linéaire attribuée à Berger.

L'existence d'une solution pour un tel problème des moments est prouvée par des outils bien connus dans la théorie du contrôle. Nous avons validé cette méthode en utilisant des images simulées numériquement et les images de cinq volontaires sains. La connexion entre les deux parties de la thèse est réalisée par le Chapitre 7 où l'on présente le problème inverse d'identification d'un terme source dans l'équation des ondes à partir d'une observation correspondante à un enregistrement IRM. En conclusion, nous avons montré qu'on peut utiliser les outils de la théorie de contrôle pour des problèmes inverses provenant de l'IRM des objets en mouvement, à la condition de connaître l'équation du mouvement
