Controllability of the 1D Schrödinger equation by the flatness approach
Résumé
We derive in a straightforward way the exact controllability of the 1-D Schrödinger
equation with a Dirichlet boundary control. We use the so-called flatness approach, which
consists in parameterizing the solution and the control by the derivatives of a “flat output”.
This provides an explicit control input achieving the exact controllability in the energy space.
As an application, we derive an explicit pair of control inputs achieving the exact steering to
zero for a simply-supported beam.
