Our recent contributions in this area are inspired in the interpretation of memory models as the coupling of PDEs with infinite-dimensional ODEs. The presence of ODE components in the system explains the failure of controllability if the control is confined on a space-support which is time-independent. This motivates the use of our moving control strategy, making the control move covering the whole domain, introducing the transport effects that the ODE is lacking.

Controllability of a Class of Infinite Dimensional Systems with Age Structure

In this tutorial, we investigate the linear infinite dimensional system obtained by implementing an age structure to a given linear dynamical system. We show that if the initial system is null controllable in a time small enough, then the age structured system is also null controllable in a time depending on the various involved parameters.
