Abstract
We show that the set of equilibrium-like states (yd,0) of a vibrating string which can approximately be reached in the energy space H1 0 (0,1)× L2(0,1) from almost any non-zero initial datum, namely, (y0,y1) ε (H2(0,1)∩H1 0(0,1))× H1(0,1), (y0,y1) ≠ (0,0) by varying its axial load only is dense in the subspace H1 0 (0,1)× {0} of this space. This result is based on a constructive argument and makes use of piecewise constant-in-time control functions (loads) only, which enter the model equation as coefficients.
