Boundary Control of Two-dimensional Point-Vortex Systems
Abstract
In this article, we investigate the boundary controllability of finite point-vortex systems in bounded multiply connected planar Lipschitz domains. The controls are applied locally on an arbitrary nonempty relatively open subset of the boundary. Zero incoming vorticity is assumed at the inflow part of the boundary. For time-dependent controls, we prove exact trajectory controllability along arbitrary prescribed collision-free vortex paths remaining away from the boundary. For stationary controls, we prove exact endpoint controllability associated with mutually disjoint real-analytic arcs. The proofs rely on harmonic interpolation, localized Runge approximation, and an implicit-function argument. The optimal control minimizing the length of trajectories is also studied. We prove the nonexistence of minimizers within classes of slightly smooth controls, and establish existence when the control time and the size of the control are penalized.
