Abstract
We consider a tree-shaped network of vibrating strings. The problem of controllability when the control acts on the root of the tree is analyzed. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the approximate controllability of the system in time 2(ℓ 1+⋯+ℓ M) , where ℓ 1,…,ℓ M denote the lengths of the strings of the network. This is a non-degeneracy condition guaranteeing that the spectra of any two subtrees of the network connected at a multiple node are mutually disjoint.
