We consider the problem of optimal control of a wave equation. A bilinear control is used to bring the state solutions close to a desired profile under a quadratic cost of control. We establish the existence of solutions of the underlying initial boundary-value problem and of an optimal control that minimizes the cost functional. We derive an optimality system by formally differentiating the cost functional with respect to the control and evaluating the result at an optimal control. We establish existence and uniqueness of the solution of the optimality system and thus determine the unique optimal control in terms of the solution of the optimality system.

We introduce a class of logarithmic wave equation. We study the global existence of week solution for this class of equation. We deal with the initial boundary value problem of this class. Using the Galerkin method and the Gross logarithmic Sobolev inequality we establish the main theorem of existence of week solution for this class of equation arising from Q-Ball Dynamic in particular.

The main purpose of this paper is to obtain some numerical results via the homotopy analysis method for an initial-boundary value problem for a fractional order diffusion equation with a non-local constraint of integral type. Some examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) in solving non-local time-fractional order initial-boundary value problems. We also give some improvements for the proof of the existence and uniqueness of the solution in a fractional Sobolev space.

We study an initial-boundary value problem for a fractional wave equation of time distributed-order with a nonlinear source term. The coefficients of the second order differential operator are dependent on the spatial and time variables. We show the existence of a unique weak solution to the problem under low regularity assumptions on the data, which includes weakly singular solutions in the class of admissible problems. A similar result holds true for the fractional wave equation with Caputo fractional derivative.
