We consider a controllability method for the time-periodic solution of the two-dimensional scalar wave equation with a first order absorbing boundary condition describing the scattering of a time-harmonic incident wave by a sound-soft obstacle. Solution of the time-harmonic equation is equivalent to finding a periodic solution for the corresponding time-dependent wave equation. We formulate the problem as an exact controllability one and solve the wave equation in time-domain. In a mixed formulation we look for solutions u = (v, p)T. The use of mixed formulation allows us to set the related controllability problem in (L2(Ω))d+1, a space of square-integrable functions in dimension d + 1. No preconditioning is needed when solving this with conjugate gradient method. We present numerical results concerning performance and convergence properties of the method.

SynopsisA simple model of a vibrating multidimensional structure made of a n-dimensional body and a one-dimensional straight string is introduced. In both regions (n-dimensional body and a onedimensional string) the state is assumed to satisfy the wave equation. Simple boundary conditions are introduced at the junction. These conditions, in the absence of control, ensure conservation of the total energy of the system and imply some rigidity of the boundary of the n-d body on a neighbourhood of the junction. The exact boundary controllability of the system is proved by means of a Dirichlet control supported on a subset of the boundary of the n-d domain which excludes the junction region. Some extensions are discussed at the end of the paper.
