EXACT CONTROLLABILITY OF A LINEAR KORTEWEG-DE VRIES EQUATION BY THE FLATNESS APPROACH
We consider a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation on a bounded domain with a left Dirichlet boundary control. The controllability to the trajectories of such a system was proved in the last decade by using Carleman estimates. Here, we go a step further by establishing the exact controllability in a space of analytic functions with the aid of the flatness approach.
