The Journal of Geometric Analysis Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this article, the boundary controllability of a coupled system consisting of several inhomogeneous plates is studied. By using the Riemannian geometry approach together with a compact perturbation method, we prove that the plate system is exactly null controllable under some verifiable geometrical assumptions.
