Abstract
AbstractWe analyse the controllability problem for a one-dimensional heat equation involving the fractional Laplacian $(-d_x^{\,2})^{s}$ on the interval $(-1,1)$. Using classical results and techniques, we show that, acting from an open subset $\omega \subset (-1,1)$, the problem is null-controllable for $s>1/2$ and that for $s\leqslant 1/2$ we only have approximate controllability. Moreover, we deal with the numerical computation of the control employing the penalized Hilbert Uniqueness Method and a finite element scheme for the approximation of the solution to the corresponding elliptic equation. We present several experiments confirming the expected controllability properties.
