Asymptoti ontrol of haos for a partial dierential equation K.-D. PHUNG kim-dang.phungmla.ens-ahan.fr .We ontrol asymptotially the haoti behaviour of a innite-dimensional dynamial system generated by a rst-order linear partial dierential equation desribed in [1℄. Abstrat 1 Introdution and main result For n 2 N nf0g , let Xn be the spae of funtions dened by n Xn = v 2 C n [0; 1℄ ; v (0) = v 0 (0) = = v (n) (0) = 0 o , and equipped with the topology of uniform onvergene with derivatives of order norm n kvk = xmax v 2 ; ( ) [0 1℄ n and with the (x) . Let fSt gt0 be the semiow on the spae Xn generated by the rst-order partial dierential equation ut + xux = u for (x; t) 2 [0; 1℄ [0; +1) , (1.1) where 2 R and with initial ondition u (; t = 0) in Xn for x 2 [0; 1℄ . u (x; 0) = v (x) Then St v (x) = u (x; t) = et v xe t . In [1℄, the authors prove that if n, then for all v 2 Xn , lim kSt v k = 0 and that if > n, then t!+1 for almost every v 2 Xn , the trajetory starting from v is strongly turbulent. Our motivation is to ontrol the semiow fSt gt0 when > n. Let f = f (x; t) 2 C ([0; +1) ; Xn ) denote the additive ontrol ation. Introduing f loally in spaetime variables into the innite-dimensional dynami system (1.1) yields ut (x; t) + xux (x; t) = u (x; t) + f (x; t) (x)[0;2"℄ 1 (t)[0;T ℄ (1.2) for (x; t) 2 [0; 1℄ [0; +1) and with initial ondition u (; t = 0) in Xn for x 2 [0; 1℄ , u (x; 0) = v (x) (1.3) where T > 0, " 2 (0; 1=2), 1 (x)[0 ℄ is the harateristi funtion on [0; R℄ for some R > 0, i.e. 1 (x)[0 ℄ = 1 if x 2 [0; R℄, 1 (x)[0 ℄ = 0 if x 2= [0; R℄, and (x)[0;R℄ denotes a smooth funtion C 1 (R) suh that (x)[0;R℄ = 1 if x 2 [ R=2; R=2℄, (x)[0;R℄ = 0 if x 2= [ R; R℄. ;R ;R ;R 1 The ontrol problem is to nd a ontrol funtion f suh that the solution u of system (1.2) satises lim ku (; t)k = 0 . t!+1 The main result of this note is as follows. For all v 2 Xn the ontrol funtion f given by 1 t e v xe t f (x; t) = T implies that the solution u of the innite-dimensional dynamial system (1.2)-(1.3) satises lim ku (; t)k = 0 . Theorem .- t!+1 2 Proof of Theorem Consider the rst-order partial dierential equation with seond member F = F (x; t) 2 C ([0; T ℄ ; Xn ) ut + xux = u + F for (x; t) 2 [0; 1℄ [0; T ℄ , with initial ondition u (; t = 0) in Xn u (x; 0) = v (x) for x 2 [0; 1℄ . Then u (x; t) = St v (x) + and Z t 0 St s F (x; s) ds = et v xe t + u (x; T ) 1 (x)[0;"℄ = eT v xe T 1 (x) + [0;"℄ If F (x; t) = T1 et v (xe t ) (x)[0;2"℄ then F xe (T and e s F xe (T s) ; s 1 (x)[0;"℄ = T1 v = T1 v Z T 0 Z t 0 e s F xe (T s) ; s s) ; s = 1 T e(t s) F xe (t s) ; s ds 1 (x) !

We onlude that u (x; T ) = 0 for all x 2 [0; "℄. Now, onsider the rst-order partial dierential equation for times t 2 (T; +1) ut + xux = u for (x; t) 2 [0; 1℄ (T; +1) , with initial ondition u (; t = T ) in Xn u (x; T ) = w (x) for x 2 [0; 1℄ , suh that w (x) = 0 for x 2 [0; "℄. Then u (x; t) = e(t T ) w xe (t T ) and onsequently, for all (x; t) 2 [0; 1℄ ln e" ; +1 , xe (t T ) 2 [0; "℄ and u (x; t) = 0. T This ompletes the proof. Referenes [1℄ J. Myjak and R.
