Null controllability and finite-time stabilization in minimal time of one-dimensional first-order $2\times 2$ linear hyperbolic systems

Abstract

The goal of this article is to present the minimal time needed for the null controllability and finite-time stabilization of one-dimensional first-order $2\times 2$ linear hyperbolic systems. The main technical point is to show that we cannot obtain a better time. The proof combines the backstepping method with the Titchmarsh convolution theorem.
