Observability inequalities from measurable sets for some evolution equations

Published 2014-06-13Version 1

In this paper, we build up two observability inequalities from measurable sets in time for some evolution equations in Hilbert spaces from two different settings. The equation reads: $u'=Au,\; t>0$, and the observation operator is denoted by $B$. In the first setting, we assume that $A$ generates an analytic semigroup, $B$ is an admissible observation operator for this semigroup (cf. \cite{TG}), and the pair $(A,B)$ verifies some observability inequality from time intervals. With the help of the propagation estimate of analytic functions (cf. \cite{V}) and a telescoping series method provided in the current paper, we establish an observability inequality from measurable sets in time. In the second setting, we suppose that $A$ generates a $C_0$ semigroup, $B$ is a linear and bounded operator, and the pair $(A, B)$ verifies some spectral-like condition. With the aid of methods developed in \cite{AEWZ} and \cite{PW2} respectively, we first obtain an interpolation inequality at one time, and then derive an observability inequality from measurable sets in time. These two observability inequalities are applied to get the bang-bang property for some time optimal control problems.
