In this paper, a class of n x n hyperbolic boundary control problems with control constraints is investigated. We first establish the solvability of an n x n system with non-homogeneous mixed Neumann conditions involving hyperbolic operator of infinite order. Also a boundary control problem for this system is considered. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the control to be optimal are obtained. Two mathematical examples for derived optimality conditions are presented.
Keywords: boundary control problems; n x n hyperbolic system; Neumann conditions; existence and uniqueness of solution; infinite-order operator.
