Controllability of distributed parameter systems

The problem of controllability for problems of optimal control and optimization of distributed parameter systems governed by partial differential equations is considered. The concept of controllability understood as Tikhonov correctness for solving optimization problems is introduced. A theorem formulating controllability conditions for directly solving optimization problems (direct minimization of the objective functional) is presented. A test example of the numerical solution of the optimization problem for a nonlinear hyperbolic system describing the unsteady flow of water in an open channel is considered. The analysis of controllability is demonstrated that ensures the correctness of the problem solution and high accuracy of optimization of the distributed friction coefficient in the flow equations.
