Exact Controllability for the Wave Equation on a Graph with Cycle and Delta-Prime Vertex Conditions

Abstract

Exact controllability for the wave equation on a metric graph consisting of a cycle and two attached edges is proven. One boundary and one internal control are used. At the internal vertices, delta-prime conditions are satisfied. As a second example, we examine a tripod controlled at the root and the junction, while the leaves are fixed. These examples are key to understanding controllability properties in general metric graphs.
