Description
Summary:A controllability problem for a diffusion equation with a complex hysteresis operator is proposed here and consists in finding a control which guarantees that the solution reaches a desired value at a given time. We propose a constructive method based on a two-parameter penalty argument. One small parameter penalizes the distance of the solution at final time from the expected value, the second one is used to approximate the underlying rate independent variational inequalities in the hysteresis term by smooth viscous constitutive relations. We prove that a solution to the controllability problem can be obtained by passing to the limit in a doubly degenerate control system, and the convergence is strong in space and uniform in time.
