Lagrangian Controllability of the 1-D Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Abstract

We consider in this paper the problem of the Lagrangian controllability for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Using the $N$-solitons solution, we prove that, for any length of the spatial domain $L>0$ and any time $T>0$, it is possible to choose appropriate boundary controls of KdV equation such that the flow associated to this solution exit the domain in time $T$.
