  Abstract

As we have announced in the title of this work, we show that a broad class of linear evolution equations is exactly controllable. This class is represented by the following infinite-dimensional linear control system:

Formula
where Z, U are Hilbert spaces, the control function u belong to L2(0, t1;U), t1 > 0, Formula and Formula generates a strongly continuous semigroup operator T(t) according to Pazy. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the exact controllability of this system and apply this result to a linear controlled damped wave equation.

Keywords: linear evolution equations; exact controllability; damped wave equation.
