Controllability and optimal control of the transport equation with a localized vector field
We study controllability of a Partial Differential Equation of transport
type, that arises in crowd models. We are interested in controlling such system
with a control being a Lipschitz vector field on a fixed control set .
We prove that, for each initial and final configuration, one can steer one to
another with such class of controls only if the uncontrolled dynamics allows to
cross the control set . We also prove a minimal time result for such
systems. We show that the minimal time to steer one initial configuration to
another is related to the condition of having enough mass in to feed
the desired final configuration
