The Control Problem for a Heat Conduction Equation with Neumann Boundary Condition

Abstract

Previously, boundary control problems for a heat conduction equation with Dirichlet boundary condition were studied in a bounded domain. In this paper, we consider the boundary control problem for the heat conduction equation with Neumann boundary condition in a bounded one-dimensional domain. On the part of the border of the considered domain, the value of the solution with control parameter is given. Restrictions on the control are given in such a way that the average value of the solution in some part of the considered domain gets a given value. The studied initial boundary value problem is reduced to the Volterra integral equation of the first type using the method of separation of variables. It is known that the solution of Volterra’s integral equation of the first kind cannot always be shown to exist. In our work, the existence of a solution to the Volterra integral equation of the first kind is shown using the method of Laplace transform. For this, the necessary estimates for the kernel of the integral equation were found. Finally, the admissibility of the control function is proved.
