Title: Approximate controllability of distributed systems by distributed controllers Authors: Benzion Shklyar (Holon Academic Inst. of Tech., Holon, Israel) Vladimir Marchenko (Univ. of Bialystok, Poland) Abstract: Approximate controllability problem for a linear distributed control system with possibly unbounded input operator, connected in a series to another distributed system without control is investigated. An initial state of the second distributed system is considered as a control parameter. Applications to control partial equations governed by hyperbolic controller, and to control delay systems governed by hereditary controller are considered. Published April 20, 2005.
