Boundary control problem for the heat transfer equation associated with heating process of a rod

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a boundary control problem for a parabolic equation in a segment. In the part of the domain’s bound it is a given value of the solution and it is required to find controls to get the average value of the solution. The given control problem is reduced to a system of Volterra integral equations of the first kind. By the mathematical-physics methods it is proved that like this control functions exist over some domain, the necessary estimates were found and obtained.
