Abstract

The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) partial differential equations are used to model nonlinear propagation of one-dimensional phenomena. The KdV equation is used in fluid mechanics to describe waves propagation in shallow water surfaces, while the KS equation models front propagation in reaction-diffusion systems. In this article, the boundary control of these equations is considered when they are posed on a bounded interval. Different choices of controls are studied for each equation.
