Stabilizability of Two-Dimensional NavierStokes Equations
with Help of a Boundary Feedback Control
A. V. Fursikov
Abstract. For 2D NavierStokes equations dened in a bounded domain we study stabi-
lization of solution near a given steady-state ow v(x) by means of feedback control dened
on a part of boundary . New mathematical formalization of feedback notion is proposed.
With its help for a prescribed number > 0 and for an initial condition v
0
(x) placed in a
small neighbourhood of v(x) a control u(t, x

), x

, is constructed such that solution v(t, x)


of obtained boundary value problem for 2D NavierStokes equations satises the inequality:
v(t, ) v

for t 0. To prove this result we rstly obtain analogous result on
stabilization for 2D Oseen equations.

1. Introduction
In this paper we study so-called stabilization problem for two-dimensional (2D)
NavierStokes equations dened in a bounded domain R
2
which is controlled
by Dirichlet boundary condition for velocity vector eld. Let ( v(x), p(x)), x
be a steady-state solution for NavierStokes equations

t
v(t, x) v(t, x) +(v, )v +p(t, x) = f(x), div v = 0, x , t > 0, (1.1)
supplied with an initial condition
v(t, x)[
t=0
= v
0
(x) (1.2)
and v ,= v
0
. We suppose that v[

= 0 and v is an unstable singular point for the


dynamic system generated by equation (1.1) supplied with zero condition v[

= 0
on the boundary of .
Hence, generally speaking the solution (v(t, x), p(t, x)) of (1.1)(1.2) goes
away ( v(x), p(x)) as t . But instead of zero boundary condition we introduce

= u. (1.3)
Stabilization problem is as follows: Let
| v v

|
H

Given > 0 nd u(t, x), t > 0, x such that the solution (v, p) of (1.1)(1.3)
satises the inequality:
|v(t, ) v()|
H

()
ce
t
as t . (1.5)
Note that existence theorem for solution of problem (1.1)(1.5) can be derived
easily from the result of local exact controllability for NavierStokes equation (see
[5], [7] and references there). But this existence theorem can not be considered as
a complete theoretical foundation for numerical solution of problem (1.1)(1.5).
The point is that problem (1.1)(1.5) is ill-posed and therefore unpredictable uc-
tuations which usually appear during numerical realization, grow with time. As
a result this lead to completely wrong numerical calculations. The way how to
overcome this diculty is well-known: one has to nd and to use feedback control.
In other words control must react on appearing uctuations and suppress them.
Of course, feedback control was studied in applied sciences. A mathematical
formalization of feedback notion was proposed in the theory of controlled ordinary
dierential equations, and this notion was extended to the case of partial dier-
ential equations (PDE). In the case of problem (1.1)(1.5) this formalization is
reduced to the following denition:
A control u(t, x) from (1.3) is called feedback if there exists a map transfor-
ming vector elds dened on to vector elds dened on such that for each
t > 0
u(t, ) = (v(t, )) (1.6)
where v(t, x) is velocity vector eld of uid ow from (1.1)(1.5).
If we take
v(t, )) = v(t, )[

B(v(t, ), D

tx
v(t, ))[

(1.7)
where B is a nonlinear transformation and D

tx
denote derivatives with respect to
t, x, then (1.3), (1.6), (1.7) imply the equality
B(v(t, ), D

t,x
v(t, ))[

= 0. (1.8)
Thus, stabilization problem usually is reformulated as follows: nd a boundary
condition (1.8) such that the solution v(t, x) of boundary value problem (1.1),
(1.2), (1.8), (1.4) satises (1.5). Stabilization problem in this formulation was
studied for a number classes of evolution PDE in many papers. (See, for instance
[15], [12], [3], [1]
1
.) But for many linear and nonlinear parabolic equations as
well as for NavierStokes system satisfactory results for stabilization problem were
not obtained yet. From our point of view the reason of this is that formalization
1
Here we do not pretend on completeness of references, of course.
Vol. 3 (2001) NavierStokes Feedback Stabilizability 261
(1.6) of feedback motion is not adopted good enough for parabolic PDE. In [6]
some other mathematical formalization of feedback notion was proposed and this
formalization was applied to solve stabilization problem for linear and quasilinear
parabolic equations. In this paper we apply this new formalization of feedback
notion to investigate stabilization problem for 2D NavierStokes equations. More
precisely we solve stabilization problem (1.1)(1.5) with help of feedback control,
concentrated on a part of boundary . The idea of proposed methods is explained
in the next section for the case of Stokes equations.
2. Stabilizability of the Stokes system
2.1. Formulation of the problem
In this section we show the idea of method of stabilization with prescribed rate of
decay. We do this for the Stokes equations, dened on a bounded domain R
2
with C

-smooth connected boundary :

t
v(t, x) v +p(t, x) = 0, (t, x) Q, (2.1)
div v(t, x) = 0, (t, x) Q, (2.2)
v(t, x)[
t=0
= v
0
(x), x (2.3)
with Dirichlet boundary condition
v(t, x

) = u(t, x

) (t, x

) (2.4)
where u(t, x

) is a control, dened on the lateral surface = (0, ) of


space-time cylinder Q = (0, ) .
Here v(t, x) = (v
1
(t, x), v
2
(t, x)) is a velocity vector eld dened for (t, x)
(t, x
1
, x
2
) Q, p is a pressure gradient and v
0
(x) is a given solenoidal vector
eld: div v
0
(x) = 0.
Let a magnitude > 0 be given. The problem of stabilization from the bound-
ary with prescribed rate > 0 of a solution v(t, x) for evolution problem (2.1)
(2.4) is to construct a boundary control u(t, x

), (t, x

) such that the solution


(v, p) satises inequality:
|y(t, )|
L
2
()
ce
t
(2.5)
where constant c > 0 depends on v
0
and .
The main condition on control u, that this control satises the feedback condi-
tion, will be formulated after presentation the whole construction of stabilization.
2.2. Method of stabilization
We choose L > 0 so large that the following inclusion is true:
x = (x
1
, x
2
) R

: [x
i
[ < L, i = 1, 2. (2.6)
262 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
After that we identify the opposite sides of the square from (2.6) and obtain
the torus, which we denote by . Then (2.6) implies that
. (2.7)
We omit for a while condition (2.4) in problem (2.1)(2.4) and extend this
problem from to . As a result we obtain a boundary value problem for the
Stokes system with periodic boundary conditions

Below we prove the following assertion:
Theorem 2.1. For each > 0 there exists a continuous extension operator
Ext : V

() (2.17)
(i.e. Extv(x) v(x) for x ).
Theorem 2.1 implies immediately the following method of solution for stabi-
lization problem (2.1)(2.5):
Theorem 2.2. Let v
0
V
0
(). For each > 0 the solution (v(t, x), u(t, x)) of
stabilization problem (2.1)(2.5) can be obtained by the formula
(v(t, ), u(t, )) = (

w(t, ),

w(t, )) (2.18)
where

and

are restriction operators on and on correspondingly,


w(t, x) is the solution of boundary value problem (2.8)(2.10) with initial con-
dition w
0
(x) = Extv
0
(x). Here Ext is extension operator (2.17) and v
0
(x) is the
initial condition from (2.3).
Proof. In virtue of (2.17) vector eld w

(x) = Extv

Denition 2.1. We say that control u from problem (2.1)(2.5) satises feedback
property if the solution (y, u) of this problem is dened by formula (2.18) where
w(t, x) is the solution of a certain articial boundary value problem.
From the physical point of view control satises feedback property if it can
react on unpredictable uctuations of a system. In Section 2.4 we will show that
control dened by (2.18) can react on such uctuations. But rstly we will prove
Theorem 2.1.
2.3. Proof of Theorem 2.1. Let v(x) V

2.3. Feedback property
We show that method of stabilization proposed below can react on unpredictable
uctuations of a system. The point is that if the solution v(t, x) of problem (2.1)
(2.4) satises inequality (2.5) and if at time moment

t
0
the system (2.1)(2.3) is
subjected by certain uctuation, then v(t, x) at t =

t
0
is pushed out X

and that
is why it will not tend to zero with prescribed rate. Therefore we check when
|v(t, )

(2.30)
266 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
(here w(t, x) is the solution of (2.8)(2.10) with w
0
(x) = Extv
0
(x)) and at this
moment, say t
1
, we regard v(t
1
, x) as initial condition and for t > t
0
we construct
the solution (v, u) of (2.1)(2.4) by formula (2.18) where w(t, x) is the solution of
(2.8), (2.9) with initial condition
w[
t=t
1
= Extv(t
1
, ). (2.31)
This construction can be written briey as impulse control for (2.8), concentrated
in the articial part of domain:

t
w(t, x) w +q(t, x) = (t t
1
)(Extv(t
1
, x) w(t
1
, x)) (2.32)
where w(t
1
, x) = v(t
1
, x), for x and w(t, x) = w(t, x) for x . After next
unpredictable pushing out X

() of the solution v(t, x) we do the same. Thus all


this process can be written by formula:

t
w(t, x) w +q(t, x) =

i=1
(t t
i
)(Extv(t
i
, x) w(t
i
, x)) (2.33)
where t
i
are moments when (2.30) became true.
Remark 2.1. Note that above we indicate only some possibility to organize reac-
tion of control on unpredictable uctuations. To realize this possibility the special
investigations should be made. They will be made in some other place. Note that
a certain previous result to this respect is obtained in [6].
3. Oseen equations
3.1. Formulation of the problem
Let R
2
be a bounded connected domain with C

-boundary , Q = R
+
.
In space-time cylinder Q we consider the Oseen equations

t
v(t, x) v + (a(x), )v + (v, )a +p(t, x) = 0 (3.1)
div v(t, x) = 0 (3.2)
with initial condition
v(t, x)[
t=0
= v

(x) (3.3).
Here (t, x) = (t, x
1
, x

) Q, v(t, x) = (v

, v

), is a velocity vector eld, p =
(

condition div v

(x), a
2
(x)) is a solenoidal vector eld (div a = 0).
We suppose that the boundary of is decomposed on two parts:

where ,

are open sets (in topology of ). Here the line above means the
closure of a set. The case

0
, and we set the following boundary conditions:
v[

0
= 0, v[

= u (3.5)
where u is a control, concentrated on .
Let a magnitude > 0 be given. The problem of stabilization with the decay
rate of a solution to problem (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) is to construct a control u on
such that the solution v(t, x) of boundary value problem (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) satises
the inequality
|v(t, x)|
L

()
ce
t
(3.6)
where c > 0 depends on v
0
, and
0
. Moreover, we require that this control u
satises the feedback property in the meaning analogous to (2.18).
Let us give the exact formulation of this feedback property. Let R
2
be a
bounded domain such that
= , = . (3.7)
We set
G = Int( ) (3.8)
(the denotation Int A means, as always, the interior of the set A). We suppose
that G is a curve belonging to the smoothness class C

and in all points except


the set it possesses the C

smoothness. The exact conditions on


magnitude will be imposed below in an appropriate place.
We extend problem (3.1)(3.3) from to G. Let us assume that the given
vector eld a(x) from (3.1) actually is dened on G. Moreover, we suppose that
a(x) V

(G)

. (3.9)
That is why the extension of (3.1)(3.3) from to G can be written as follows:

t
w(t, x) w + (a(x), )w + (w, )a +p(t, x) = 0 (3.10)
div w(t, x) = 0 (3.11)
w(t, x)[
t=0
= w
0
(x). (3.12)
Besides, we impose on w the zero Dirichlet boundary condition
w[
S
= 0, (3.13)
where S = R
+
G. Note that, actually, w
0
from (3.12) will be some special
extension of v
0
(x) from (3.3).
For vector elds dened on G we introduce the operator

of restriction on
and the operator

of restriction on :

: V
k
(G) V
k
(), k 0;

: V

(G) V
k1/2
(), k > 1/2. (3.14)
Evidently, operators (3.14) are bounded.

Denition 3.1. A control u(t, x) in (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) is called the feedback if for
each t > 0 the following relations are true:
v(t, ) =

w(t, ), u(t, ) =

w(t, ) (3.15)
where (v(t, ), u(t, )) is the solution of stabilization problem (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) and
w(t, ) is the solution of boundary value problem (3.10)(3.13).
Below we prove that for given > 0, v
0
the problem (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) can be
stabilized with help of feedback control in the meaning of Denition 3.1.

Assuming that spaces in (3.17), (3.19) are complex we denote by (A) the

Lemma 3.1. Oseen operator (3.18) with a(x) satisfying (3.9) is a sectorial opera-
tor. For (A) resolvent (3.20) is a compact operator. That is why the spectrum
(A) consists of a discrete set of points.

The proof of this lemma can be obtained by well-known methods: compactness
of resolvent and estimate (3.22) can be established by analogous estimates to that
were obtained below, in Lemmas 4.7 proof. All other assertions of the Lemma
follows from results of [10] and [20].

This lemma is derived in [6] from well-known results of [4], [20].
Let us consider the adjoint operator A

to Oseen operator (3.18):


A

w w [(a(x), )w (a)

w] : V
0
0
(G) V
0
0
(G) (3.27)
where

j=1

Evidently, A

is a closed operator with domain coinciding to T(A)


T(A

) = T(A) = V

.
Moreover
(A

) = (A) and R(, A)

= R(

) (A). (3.29)
Below we always assume that
vector eld a(x) from (3.9), (3.18), (3.27) is real valued. (3.30)
270 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
That is why we have
(A) = (A) = (A

) = (A

). (3.31)
Since B and B

are compact operators simultaneously, (3.29), (3.31) imply that


A

is a sectorial operator with a compact resolvent and (A) = (A) = (A

) =
(A

). Hence if
0
(A) then
0
(A

). Decomposition R(, A

series around

yields:
R(, A

where, evidently poles orders in (3.32) and in (3.23) coincides and R

Recall some denitions. If ker(

0
C

is called eigenvalue of
A, and a vector e ,= 0 which belongs to ker(

E A) is called eigenvector. Vector
e

is called associated vector of order k to an eigenvector e if e

can be obtained
after solving the chain of equations:

We say that e, e

of vectors, associated to e equals m then the number m + 1 is called multiplicity
of the eigenvector e.

i) Vectors e

responding to the eigenvalue

.
ii) e

is an eigenvector with maximal possible multiplicity.
iii) e
(k)
is an eigenvector which can not be expressed by a linear combination
of e

and multiplicity of e
(k)
achieves a possible maximum.

Evidently, numbers m

that corresponds to the eigenvalue

. Denition of
canonical system (3.38) is absolutely analogous to Denition 3.2 of canonical sys-
tem (3.37). Particularly the set (3.38) with xed k satises the relations which
are analogous to (3.36):

The assertion which we formulate below is very close to well-known assertion from
[10], although their formulations are dier. That is why we give also a proof. Let
H be a Hilbert space with a scalar product , ). For u, v

H denote by uv

the
operator Bx = x, v

)u. Then v

u is adjoint operator B

g = u, g)v

.
Theorem 3.1. Let A : H H be a sectorial operator with a compact resolvent
and the operator A

: H H is adjoint to A. Suppose that


0

0
(A

and therefore
0
,
0
are the poles of R(, A), R(, A

) correspondingly which have


the equal multiplicity m. Then
i)
0
is an eigenvalue of A and
0
is an eigenvalue of A

and both of them


have eigenvectors of maximal multiplicity m.
ii) Let set (3.38) be an arbitrary canonical system of A

corresponding to the
eigenvalue
0
. Then (3.38) denes by a unique way a canonical system
(3.37) of A corresponding to
0
such that the main part of Laurent series
(3.23) has the form

Proof. As was mentioned, in virtue of (3.29) operators R

Let e, e

. (3.43)
To prove (3.43) one can apply to both parts of (3.43) operator (I A) = ((

0
)I +
0
I A) and use (3.36). Hence multiplicity m of pole (3.23) is not less
than maximal possible multiplicity of a eigenvector corresponding to
0
. If m is
the multiplicity of pole (3.23) then R
(m+1)
= 0 and by (3.33) with k = m we
have ImR
m
Ker(
0
I A). Therefore the multiplicity m of pole (3.23) equals to
maximal possible multiplicity of eigenvectors for A corresponding
0
. Analogously,
if ,

h
be a chain of associated vectors for A

then

h+1

h

h
(3.44)
and the multiplicity m of pole (3.32) is equal to maximal possible multiplicity of
eigenvectors for A

corresponding
0
.
Let
(k)
, k = 1, . . . , j
1
be a given maximal set of linear independent eigenvectors
of maximal multiplicity m for A

. Then by (3.44) with


h

for each x H
R

x =

k=1

(k)
, x >

(3.45)
where, evidently, vectors e

by unique way. Relations (3.41)
implies that
R

k=1

(k)
(3.46)
and in virtue of (3.43) e

are eigenvectors for A of maximal possible
multiplicity m. Since dimImR
m

m

(k)
are linear independent and

there is no any other linear independent to e

eigenvectors for A of
multiplicity m.
By (3.43) with e
h

we see that the main part of (3.23)

k=1

the main part of (3.32) contains:

that we add terms in (3.48) using new (added) sum in (3.47) and relation (3.41).

It is well-known that canonical system (3.38) for A

corresponding to eigenvalue

is a set of linear independent vectors.

That is why in virtue of (3.44) sum (3.49)

Amplication of this result is proved in [6] and in Lemma 3.7 below.

does not contain all main part of (3.32) but contains the operator R

Therefore

(3.50)
is a pole which order is less than m. Applying to (3.50) arguments we used
above: we take the eigenvalues

+ 1, . . . , j
r
for A

from (3.38) which


multiplicity is maximal possible after excluding
(k)
with k = 1, 2, . . . , j
1
. For

(k)
, k = j
1
+ 1, . . . , j
2
we repeat arguments written from (3.45) to (3.49). As a
result we obtain a sum of terms A

(analogous to (3.49)) such that the order of
pole

will be less than the order of pole (3.50). Repeating this process several times we
complete the proof of Theorem 2.1.
Corollary 3.1. Let A be a sectorial operator with compact resolvent R(, A) de-
composed at
0
(A) in Laurent series (3.23). Let (3.38) be a canonical system
of A

corresponding to the eigenvalue


0
, which we denote by E(

R

if and only if

This assertion follows immediately from representation (3.40) for the main part
of Laurent series (3.23) for R(, A).
3.4. Holomorphic semigroups
We consider boundary value problem (3.10)(3.13) for Oseen equations written in
the form
dw(t, )
dt
+Aw(t, ) = 0, w[
t=0

(3.53)
where A is operator (3.18). In virtue of Lemma 3.1. Oseen operator is sectorial
with compact resolvent. It is known ([8, Sect. 1.3]) that the following assertion
holds.

Such contour exists, of course, because we can choose belonging to set

from denition of sectorial operator (see (3.21)).
Let be a negative number satisfying
(A) C : Re = = . (3.55)
The case when there are certain points of (A) placed righter the line Re =

Using contour described below (3.54) we dene the continuous contour

that is placed in C : Re and constructed from an interval of the line


Re = and from two branches of contour that transform to arg =

3.5. On linear independence of
(k)
(x)
We set some strengthening of well-known result on linear independence of eigenvec-
tors and associated vectors for operator (3.27), (3.28) conjugate to Oseen operator
(3.18).
Lemma 3.5. Let
(k)
(x) k = 1, . . . , N be complete linear independent system
of eigenvectors to an eigenvalue

0
. Then for an arbitrary subdomain < G
functions
(k)
(x), x , k = 1, . . . , N are linear independent.
Proof. Let
f(x) =
N

k=1
c
k

(k)
(x) = 0, x . (3.67)
Evidently, equality (
0
E A

)f(x) = 0 holds for x G and therefore by (3.27)


and denition of operator
f(x) (a(x), )f(x) + (a(x))

f(x) = p(x), x G (3.68)


with some function p(x) H
1
(G). Applying operator rot

g(x)

g

g

to
(3.68) we get
rot

f(x) (a(x), )rot

f(x) = 0, x G. (3.69)
(This formula can be veried by straightforward calculations). By (3.67) we have
rot

f(x) = 0, x . (3.70)
Relations (3.69), (3.70) imply (see [9]) that
rot

f(x) = 0, x G,
and this, as well-known (see, for example, [5, p. 204]) leads that f(x) const. By
the denition (3.67) and by relation
(k)
[
G
= 0 we get f(x) 0, x G. Hence
in (3.67) c
k
= 0, k = 1, . . . , N.
Theorem 3.4. Let (3.64) be a certain canonical system of eigenvectors and asso-
ciated vectors for A

corresponding eigenvalue

j
. Then for each satisfying
(3.55) and for arbitrary subdomain G the set of canonical systems (3.64) for
all eigenvalues

j
satisfying
Re
j
< (3.71)
are linear independent.
278 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
Proof. In proof of this assertion specic character of operator A

is used to prove
Lemma 3.5 only. The last part of prove is general and has been made in [6].
Impose on canonical systems (3.64) the following condition

(k)
(
j
) =
(k)
(
j
);
(k)
l
(
j
) =
(k)
l
(
j
). (3.72)
Indeed, since by (3.30) vector eld a(x) is real valued, if we act the operation
of complex conjugation to functions (3.64), we evidently get canonical system of
eigenvectors and associated vectors for A

corresponding to eigenvalue
j
. That
is why condition (3.72) can be realized easily.
In virtue of (3.72) canonical system corresponding to real
j
consists of real
valued vector elds. If Im
j
,= 0, instead of vector elds
(k)
(
j
),
(k)
l
(
j
),
l = 0, 1, . . . , we consider real valued vector elds
Re
(k)
l
(
j
), Im
(k)
l
(
j
), l = 1, . . . , k = 1, 2 . . . . (3.73)
(As above
(k)
0
(

j
) =
(k)
(

j
) by denition). We renumber all functions (3.73)
with Re
j
< (including elds with Im
j
= 0) as follows:

1
(x), . . . ,
K
(x). (3.74)
Lemma 3.6. For an arbitrary subdomain G vector elds (3.74) restricted on
are linear independent over the eld R of real numbers.
Lemma 3.6 follows easily from Theorem 3.4. (see [6])
Note that Theorem 3.3 implies immediately the following assertion.
Corollary 3.2. Assume that A is operator (3.18) and > 0 satises (3.55). Then
for each w
0
V
0
0
(G) satisfying
_
G
(w

(x),
j
(x))x = 0, j = 1, . . . , K (3.75)
with
j
from (3.74), inequality (3.66) is true.
4. Stabilization of the Oseen equation
4.1. Theorem on extension
The key step in stabilization method that we propose is construction of special
extension for vector elds from to G (see (3.8)). First of all we make more
precise the conditions imposed on and G. Recall that
G = Int(

) (4.1)
Vol. 3 (2001) NavierStokes Feedback Stabilizability 279
where and are open subsets of R
2
, = and is a closed curve of
C

-class and
=
0
, G =
0
(4.2)
where ,
0
are open subsets of , ,= , and is a nite number of points, or
= .
We suppose that
=
N
_
j=1

j
(4.3)
where
j
are connected components of . We assume that the following con-
ditions are true:
Condition 4.1. For each j = 1, . . . , N the set
j

0
is connected or it is
empty.
Condition 4.1. implies that for each j the set
j
also is connected or
empty.
We impose the following smoothness condition on and G:
Condition 4.2. Let C

, G C

and for each point P there


exist local coordinates (x, y) such that P is origin; P = (0, 0), (x, 0), x (0, )
, (x, 0), x (, 0)
0
and in a neighbourhood of P G can be represented
as follows:
G (x, y) = (x, x

), x (0, )(x, y) = (x, 0), x (, 0), > 1. (4.4)


Here > 0 is a small magnitude.
Remind that is a given domain where the Oseen system which should be sta-
bilized is determined. The domain we choose ourselves. That is why Condition
4.2 is not restrictive.
We introduce the following spaces
V
1
0
(G) = u(x) = (u
1
(x), u
2
(x)) V
1
(G) : u[
G

(G) that u(x) =

v(x)
(4.5)
where V
1
(G) is dened in (2.14),

is the operator of restriction on for functions


from V

(G). The space V

|u|

where inmum is taken over all bounded extension operators L : V

(G).
280 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
Denition (4.5) is convenient to prove the extension result but it is not con-
structive. Below, in Subsection 4.2 we give simple condition on vector eld which
guarantees its belonging to V
1
(,
0
).
We will use the following subspaces of Sobolov space H
2
(G) of scalar functions:

H
2
(G) = F H
2
(G) :
_
G
F(x) dx = 0, (4.6)

H
2

(G) = F(x)

H
2
(G) : F[
G
= 0 (4.7)
where, recall, F = (
x
1
F,
x
2
F).
Remind that for a scalar function F(x), x G R
2
rotF(x) = (
2
F(x),
1
F(x)). (4.8)
Lemma 4.1. The operator
rot :

H
2

(G) V
1
0
(G) (4.9)
is an isomorphism.
Proof. It is known (see [5, p. 204]) that the operator
rot :

H
2
(G) V
1
(G)
is isomorphism. If = (
1
,
2
) is the vector eld of normals to G, then =
(
1
,
2
) = (
2
,
1
) is the eld of vectors, tangent to G along G. Let v V
1
0
(G)
and F = rot
1
v

H
2
(G). Then

n
F[
G
= (rotF, )[
G
= (v, )[
G
= 0,

F[
G
= (rotF, )[
G
= (v, )[
G
= 0.
(4.10)
Therefore F[
G
= 0 and F

H
2
0
(G). If F

H
2
0
(G) and v = rotF then in virtue
of (4.10) and condition F[
G
= (
n
F,

F)[
G
= 0 we get that v V
1
0
(G).
For v V
1
(G) denote by rot

v the operator formally conjective to (4.8). It is


easy to see that
rot

v(x) =
1
v
2
(x)
2
v
1
(x) where v(x) = (v
1
(x), v
2
(x)). (4.11)
Lemma 4.2. Let
1
be a subdomain of G such that Int(
1
G) ,= . Suppose
that
f(x)

j
(x) = 0, x

(4.12)
where c
j
are constants and
j
(x) are vector elds (3.74). Then c
j
= 0, j =
1, . . . , K.
Vol. 3 (2001) NavierStokes Feedback Stabilizability 281
Proof. Denote scalar functions

j
(x) = rot
1

j
(x). (4.13)
This denition is correct in virtue of Lemma 4.1 since
j
(x) V
1
0
(G). Let
g(x) =
N

j=1
c
j

j
(x). (4.14)
Since by (4.8), (4.11) = rot

rot we get by (4.12), (4.13), (4.14) that


g(x) f(x) = 0, x . (4.15)
By (4.13), Lemma 4.1 and (4.14) g[
G
= 0 and therefore
g[
G
1
= 0. (4.16)
Since Int(G
1
) ,= , by uniqueness of a solution for Cauchy problem for
Laplace operator (see [9]) relations (4.15), (4.16) imply that
g(x) const, x
1
,
and therefore applying to (4.14) operator rot we get in virtue of (4.13) that
N

j=1
c
j

j
(x) 0, x
1
.
This inequality and Lemma 3.6 imply that c
1
= = c
N
= 0.
We prove now the extension theorem. In the space of real valued vector elds
V
1
0
(G) we introduce the subspace
X
1
K
(G) = v(x) V
1
0
(G) :
_
G
v(x)
j
(x) dx = 0, j = 1, . . . , K (4.17)
where
j
(x) are functions (3.76).
Theorem 4.1. There exists a linear bounded extension operator

K
(G) (4.18)
(i.e. E
K

Proof. By denition (4.5) of V

operator

Then the matrix A = |a

f(x) =

Moreover, if for some (A, ) =

and by Lemma 4.2

Equations (4.22) can be rewritten as follows:
Ac = g
where c = (c
1
, . . . , c
K
) and g is the vector with components dened by right
size of (4.22). Thus c = A
1
g and denition of operator (4.21) is completed.
Boundedness of operator (4.18) follows immediately from its denition (4.21).
4.2. On the space V

In this subsection we show that each vector eld v(x) V
1
() satisfying v[

0
= 0
belongs to V
1
(,
0
) if v(x) is smooth enough in a neighbourhood of
0
. This
result is not used directly for solution of the stabilization problem given below in
Subsection 4.4.
Vol. 3 (2001) NavierStokes Feedback Stabilizability 283
We introduce the spaces:
V

) V

() : v[

0

H

H

where

H

() is dened analogously to (4.6).
Lemma 4.3. Operator
rot :

H

0
() (4.26)
is an isomorphism.
The proof of this lemma is completely analogous to the proof of Lemma 4.1.
We want to nd out what vector eld from V
1

0
() can be extended to a vector
eld belonging to V
1
0
(G). Firstly we consider the simplest case when
j
j
or
j
= . (4.27)
Proposition 4.1. If condition (4.27) is true then there exists an extension opera-
tor
L : V

0
() V
1
0
(G) (4.28)
and therefore V
1

0
() = V
1

Proof. Let v V

(), F = rot
1
v

H
2
(,
0
) where rot
1
is constructed in
Lemma 4.3. Since by (4.27) is closed manifold we can extend F through by
means of usual Witney extension theorem and this operator we denote by L
0
.
Then operator (4.28) can be dened as follows:
L = rot
0
L
0
rot
1
(4.29)
where
0
is the operator of multiplication on function (4.20). Operator (4.29),
evidently, is bounded in spaces (4.28)
Condition (4.27) actually means that = . Now we consider the case when
,= . In this case we also look for an extension operator in the form (4.29)
where, however, L
0
is not usual Witney extension operator. Below we construct
new operator L
0
.
Lemma 4.4. Let domains and G satisfy (4.1), (4.2), (4.3) and Conditions 4.1,
4.2 with 2. Suppose that F(x)

H

(,

) satises the condition
F(x) H
k
( O()) with k >
3 + 1
2
(4.30)
where O() is a neighbourhood of and is magnitude from (4.4). Then F(x)
can be extended up to a function L

F(x) H

(G) where
H
2

(G) = f(x) H
2
(G) : f[
G
= 0. (4.31)
284 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
Proof. Step 1. If F

H
2
(,
0
) then by (4.25) and Condition 4.1 F[

j
= c
j
=
const. Dene f by the equality
F = f +c
j
.
We extend the constant c
j
through
j
by just the same constant c
j
. That
is why to extend F through
j
we have to extend f(x). The problem is to
extend f(x) to a neighbourhood of the point P
j
because outside this
neighbourhood we can use Witney extension method.
By Condition 4.2 we can suppose that f(x, y) H
k
(Q

) with Q

= (x, y)
R
2
: y 0, x
2
+y
2
< 1
3
f(x, 0) =
y
f(x, 0) = 0 for x (1, 0). (4.32)
We must extend f on Q = (x, y) R
2
: x

+y
2
< 1, y (x) where (x) = x

for x 0, (x) = 0 for x 0 such that extended function L

f H

(Q) and
L

f[
(x,(x))
= L

f[
(x,(x))
= 0.
Step 2. We dene

2. (4.33)
It is clear that () H

(0) = 0, (0) = 1 (4.34)


and
[()[ c [

()[ c

We determine the extension operator L
0
as follows:
L
0
f(x, y) =
_
f(x, y), y < 0,
g(x, y)(y/x

), y > 0, x > 0,
(4.36)
where g(x, y) = 4f(x,
y
2
) 3f(x, y).
In virtue of (4.34) L
0
f and L
0
f satisfy desired zero boundary condition on
(x, (x). Moreover the function
h(x, y) =
_
f(x, y), y < 0,
g(x, y), y > 0, x > 0
belongs to H
2
(Q). Therefore we have to prove only that
g(x, y)(y/x

) H
2
(Q Q

). (4.37)
3
In Condition 4.2 we have x
2
+ y
2
< instead of x
2
+ y
2
< 1. By multiplication f on a cut
function equal 1 for x
2
+y
2
< /2 and equal 0 outside x
2
+y
2
we can reduce the deal to the
case x
2
+ y
2
< 1.
Vol. 3 (2001) NavierStokes Feedback Stabilizability 285
Step 3. We prove that the following estimates for function g dened below
(4.36) are true:
[g(x, y)[ c(x

), [
y
g(x, y)[ c(x

(x, y) Q Q

, > 0.
Indeed, (4.32) implies that
g(x, 0) =
y
g(x, 0) = 0 for x (1, 0). (4.40)
By Sobolev embedding theorem and by (4.30)
g(x, y) H
k

) C
k1
(Q Q

). (4.41)
In virtue of Lagrange theorem, (4.40), (4.41) (4.30) we have for (x, y) Q Q

:
[g(x, y)[ [g(x, 0)[ +[g(x, y) g(x, 0)[ cx

This proves (4.38). Inequalities (4.39) are proved analogously.
Step 4. We prove (4.37). We have

Now we can prove the nal result:
Theorem 4.2. Let domains and G satisfy (4.1), (4.2), Conditions 4.1, 4.2 and

Proof. Let v(x) satisfy conditions of the Theorem. By Lemma 4.3 the func-

4.3. Extension Theorem for V

Extension operator constructed in Subsections 4.1, 4.2 is the main in our theory
because it can be used for NavierStokes equations. Nevertheless there are some
reasons to construct analogous extension operator for more wide function spaces
of V

That is why we expound it briey.

for x (1, 0) and we must extend f(x, y) on Q, where the sets Q

and Q are
dened near (4.32).
We set () = 1 for (0, 1) and dene the extension operator as follows:
L

f(x, y) =
_
f(x, y), y < 0,
f(x, y)(y/x

As well as in Lemma 4.4 all proof is reduced to establishing of the inclusions

To do it we take into account that by Sobolev embedding theorem H

Now using this inequality and do estimates analogous to (4.42), (4.43) we prove
(4.51).
The following assertion succeeds from Lemma 4.6 as Theorem 4.2 was derived
from Lemma 4.4.
Theorem 4.4. Let and G satisfy (4.1), (4.2), Conditions 4.1, 4.2, and ,= .
Suppose that v(x) V

1+

parameter from (4.4) satises inequalities 1 < < 1+. Then v(x) V

4.4. Results on stabilization
We prove now the main theorem of this section on stabilizability by feedback
boundary control of 2D Oseen equations.
Theorem 4.5. Let domains and G satisfy (4.1), (4.2), and Conditions 4.1,
4.2. Then for each initial condition v
0
(x) V
0
(,
0
) and each > 0 there exists
a feedback control u dened on the part of boundary (0, ) such that the
solution v(t, x) of boundary value problem (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) satises the inequality:
|v(t, )|
(L
2
())
2 ce
t
as t . (4.52)
Proof. Let A be operator (3.18) and the magnitude > 0 satises condition (3.55).
In the case if it is not so we get satisfying (3.55) by small increasing of . We act on
initial condition v
0
V
0
(,
0
) by the operator E

K
from (4.48). Then by Theo-
rem 4.3 w

and denition (3.74) of vector elds

(x), . . . ,
K
(x) one yields that w
0
and sat-
isfy all conditions of Theorem 3.3. In virtue of this theorem inequality (3.66) is
true. We dene desired solution (v, u) of stabilization problem (3.1)(3.3), (3.5)
by formula (3.15), where w(t, ) = e
At
w
0
is the solution of problem (3.10)(3.13)
which can be rewritten in the equivalent form (3.53). Then (3.66) and evident
inequality
|v(t, )|
L

|w(t, )|

imply (4.52).
Theorem 4.6. Let domains and G satisfy (4.1), (4.2), and Conditions 4.1,
4.2 with 2. Then for each initial condition v
0
(x) V
1
(,
0
) and for each
> 0 there exists a feedback control u dened on such that the solution v(t, x)

of (3.1)(3.3), (3.5) satises the inequality
|v(t, )|
(H

())
2 ce

as t . (4.53)
Proof. As in Theorem 4.5 we can assume that satises conditions (3.55). We
act on initial condition v

K
from (4.18) and by
Theorem 4.1 we obtain that w

where A is operator (3.18). We want to prove that
|w(t, )|

Since by well-known results on smoothness of solutions for Oseen equations in-
equality (4.54) is true for t [0, 1], it sucient to prove (4.54) for t > 1. In virtue
of representation (3.58) for e

where the contour

To estimate (4.55) we use the following assertion which will be proved after
nishing of Theorems 4.6 proof.
Lemma 4.7. Let A be operator (3.18) and > 0 satises (3.55). Then
|(I +A)

where constant c > 0 does not depend on w V

and the contour

is dened lower (3.55).


End of proof of Theorem 4.5. We estimate integral in (4.55) using arguments
of proof of the Lemma 3.4, but applying estimate (4.56) instead of (3.60). As a
result we get:
|w(t, )|
V

Hence we established (4.54). Now we dene (v(t,), u(t, )) = (

satisfying Condition 4.1. Recall denotations of the space-times sets: Q = R

. In Q we consider the NavierStokes equations

t
v(t, x) v(t, x) + (v, )v +p(t, x) = f(x), (t, x) Q (5.1)
div v = 0 (5.2)

and boundary conditions
v[

where u = (u

) is a control dened on .
We suppose also that a steady-state solution ( v(x), p(x)) of NavierStokes
system with the same right-hand side f(x) as in (5.1) is given:
v(x) + ( v, ) v + p = f(x), div v(x) = 0, x (5.5)
v[

Let > 0 be given. The problem of stabilization with the rate reduced to
look for a solution of problem (5.1)(5.4) which satises the inequality

The important additional condition is that u is a feedback control. Denition
of feedback notion is analogous to Denition 3.1. Nevertheless we give now exact
formulation of feedback property.
We extend to a domain G through (see (4.1), (4.2)) such that Condition 4.2
holds. After that we extend problem (5.1)(5.4) to analogous problem dened on
= R
+
G:

t
w(t, x) w + (w, )w +q(t, x) = g(x), div w(t, x) = 0 (5.8)
w(t, x)[

with additional condition
w[
S
= 0 (5.10)
where S = R

G. Moreover we assume that solution ( v, p) of (5.5), (5.6) is
extended on G to a pair (a(x), q(x)), x G such that
a(x) + (a, )a + q(x) = g(x), div a(x) = 0, x G (5.11)
a[
G
= 0 (5.12)
292 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
where right side g(x) is the same as in (5.8). (We show below how to construct
such extension.)
Denition 5.1. A control u(t, x) in stabilization problem (5.1)(5.4) is called
feedback if the solution (v(t, x), u(t, x)) of (5.1)(5.4) is dened by the equality:
(v(t, x), u(t, x)) = (

w(t, ),

w(t, )) (5.13)
where w(t, x) satises to (5.8)(5.10), and

are operators of restriction of a


function dened on G to and to respectively.
5.2. Invariant manifolds
Let g(x) from (5.8) satisfy the condition:
g(x) (L
2
(G))
2
. (5.14)
Then as well-known (see, for instance [18]) equations (5.8) are equivalent to the
following equation with respect to one unknown function w(t, x):

t
w(t, x) w +(w, )w = g(x) (5.15)
where is orthoprojector (3.17) on V

(G) (see (3.16)). We assume in addition
that solution w of (5.15) (as well as solution w of (5.8)) belongs to the space

for each T > 0, where

(G) there exists unique solution w(t, x)
V

(Q

) of problem (5.15), (5.9). Solution w(t, x) of (5.15), (5.9) taken at time
moment t we denote as S(t, w
0
)(x):
w(t, x) = S(t, w
0
)(x). (5.17)
Since embedding V
1,2
(Q
T
) C(0, T; V
1

(G)) is continuous, the family of op-
erators S(t, w
0
) is continuous semigroup on the space V

0
(G) : S(t + , w

) =
S(t, S(, w

Note that we can rewrite (5.11) in the form analogous to (5.15):
a(x) +(a, )a = g, a(x) V

(G) V
2
(G). (5.18)
Since a(x) is steady-state solution of (5.15), S(t, a) = a for each t 0. We can
decompose semigroup S(t, w
0
) in a neighbourhood of a in the form
S(t, w

. Dierentiability of S(t, w

is proved, for instance in [2, Ch. 7. Sect. 5]. Therefore
B(t, 0) = 0, B

w
(t, 0) = 0. (5.20)
Vol. 3 (2001) NavierStokes Feedback Stabilizability 293
Moreover in [2, Ch. 7. Sect. 5] is proved that B(t, w) belongs to class C

Generally speaking, eigenvalues of operators A and e

are complex-valued.
That is why all spaces in Theorem 5.1 are complex. But to apply obtained results
to (nonlinear) NavierStokes equations we need to have analogous results for the
real spaces of the same type. Actually for this we have to dene the projector
of (5.27) in real spaces.

where e

suitable away and
j

The proof of this simple lemma one can nd in [6, Lemma 6.2].
The following assertion holds.
Lemma 5.2. For an arbitrary subdomain G vector elds e
j
(x), j = 1, . . . , K
from (5.35) restricted on are linear independent over R.
Since there is evident symmetry between operators A and A

and therefore
between e
j
(x) and elds (3.74), Lemma 5.2 is proved similarly to Lemma 3.6.
Using (5.35) we can easily restrict spaces X

lead to misunderstanding because below we do not use their complex analogs.
In a neighbourhood of steady-state solution a of (5.18) we establish existence of
a manifold M

which is invariant with respect to semigroup S(t, w) (i.e., S(t, w)


M

). This manifold can be represented as the graph:


M

O X

is an operator-
function of class C

and
g(0) = 0, g

Note that condition (5.37) means that manifold (5.36) is tangent to X

at

The following theorem is true.

This theorem follows form results of [2, Ch. 5, Sect. 2; Ch. 7, Sect. 5] and from
Theorem 5.1.
5.3. Extension operator
Here we construct extension operator for NavierStokes equations. This operator
is analog of extension operators (4.18), (4.48) constructed for Oseen equations.
Recall that the domain and its extension G satisfy (4.1), (4.2) and Conditions
4.1, 4.2. Besides
V

v(x). (5.39)

where inmum is taken over all bounded extension operators

Let us prove the theorem on extension.
Theorem 5.3. Let a(x) be a steady-state solution of (5.18), v(x) =

a, and M

is the invariant manifold constructed in neighbourhood a + O of a in V

= v

V
1
(,

V

<

. Then for
suciently small
1
one can construct a continuous operator
Ext : v +B

1
M

, (5.41)
which is operator of extension for vector elds from to G:
(Extv)(x) v(x), x . (5.42)
Proof. By denition of V
1
(,
0
) there exists a bounded linear extension operator
R : V

(,

1
0
(G).
Let (x) C

(

G), (x) 1 for x and (x) 0 outside a neighbourhood
of . Similarly to (4.21) we introduce the following operator of extension:
Qv(x) =
_
v(x), x ,
rot(rot
1
Rv)(x) +w(x), x ,
(5.43)
where w(x) is a vector eld concentrated in which is constructed by v(x). We
describe its construction below. At last we dene the desired operator Ext by the
formula
Extv =

Qz +g(

Qz) +a, with z = v a, (5.44)

By denition (5.36) of M

we have Extv M

. Hence we have to provide that


the equality
(Extv)(x) v(x), x (5.45)
is true, which shows that Ext is an extension operator. By (5.35) e
j
(x) generates
X
+
and therefore the map g(u) can be written in the form
g(u) =
N

j=1
e
j
g

(u).
That is why taking into account (5.35) we can rewrite (5.44) in the form

Let (x) C

(

G), (x) = 1 outside small neighbourhood of and (x) = 0,
x . Similarly to (4.21) we look for the vector eld w(x) from (5.43) in the form
w(x) = rot

account (5.43), (5.35). As a result we get
z +Ac = g

z + (c, rot[rot

where z = rot(rot

We prove as in Theorem 4.1 that matrix A = |a

it is invertible.

we get the equality
c = G

In virtue of Theorem 5.2 the map A

the operator Ext

5.4. Theorem on stabilization
First of all we make more precise conditions connected with solution ( v, p) of
steady-state problem (5.5), (5.6). We set
V
2
(,
0
) = v(x) V
2
() : v[

0
= 0, w V
2
(G) V
1
0
(G), v(x) =

w
(5.52)
where

is the operator of restriction on .


Proposition 5.1. Let f (L
2
())
2
and a pair ( v(x), p(x)) belong to V
2
(, )
(L
2
())
2
and satises equations (5.5), (5.6). Then there are extension g(x)
(L
2
(G))
2
of f(x) from to G and an extension (a(x), q(x)) (V
2
(G)V
1
0
(G))
L
2
(G) of ( v(x), p(x)) from to G such that the pair (a(x), q(x)) is a solution
of (5.11), (5.12).
Proof. By denition of the space V
2
(,
0
) there exists an extension a(x)
V
2
(G) V
1
0
(G) of v(x) from to G. Since p L
2
(), one can choose p(x)
H
1
() and after that extend p(x) from to G up to a function q(x) H
1
(G).
We substitute (a(x), q) to the left side of the rst equation in (5.11) and denote
the obtained right side as g(x). Evidently g(x) L
2
(G). Moreover

g(x) = f(x)
because

(a(x), q(x)) = ( v(x), p(x)), and (5.5) is true.


Remark 5.1. Condition v V
2
(,
0
) which we impose on a given steady-state
solution is not constructive. But using arguments expounded in Subsection 4.2 one
300 A. V. Fursikov JMFM
can prove that vector eld v(x) belongs to V
2
(,
0
) if it satises the following
condition: v(x) V
2
(), v[

0
= 0 and v(x) is suciently smooth in a neighbour-
hood of . Moreover we suppose that assumptions (4.1), (4.2), Conditions 4.1,
4.2 are fullled and in Condition 4.2 restriction 3 holds.
We now are in position to prove the main result of this paper.
Theorem 5.4. Let R
2
be a bounded domain with C

-boundary and =

0

1
, where ,
0
are open curves, ,= , is a nite number of points
or = . Suppose that a domain G R
2
is chosen such that assumptions (4.1),
(4.2) and Conditions 4.1, 4.2 with 3 are fullled. Let f(x) (L
2
())
2
and
( v(x), p(x)) V
2
(,
0
) (L
2
())
2
satisfy (5.5), (5.6). Then for an arbitrary
> 0 there exists suciently small
1
> 0 such that for each v
0
V
1
(,
0
)
satisfying
| v v
0
|
V
1
0
()
<
1
(5.53)
there exists a feedback boundary control u(t, x) R
+
which stabilized
NavierStokes boundary value problem (5.1)(5.4) with the rate (5.7), i.e. the so-
lution v of (5.1)(5.4) satises (5.7).
Proof. Using Proposition 5.1 we extend v(x) to a(x) V
1
(G), and f(x) to
g(x) (L
2
(G))
2
. As a result we get boundary value problem (5.8)(5.10) (with
certain w
0
) and steady-state solution (a(x), q(x)) of this problem. We can sup-
pose that > 0 satises (3.55): otherwise we increase a little bit and get (3.55).
In virtue of Theorem 5.2 in a neighbourhood of a there exists a manifold M

which
is invariant with respect of semigroup S(t, w
0
) connected with equation (5.15) and
such that for each w
0
M

inequality (5.38) holds. Let


1
be so small that it
satises condition of Theorem 5.3. Then we apply extension operator Ext con-
structed in Theorem 5.3 to initial condition v
0
of problem (5.1)(5.3) and take
w
0
= Extv
0
as initial condition for problem (5.8)(5.10) or for equation (5.15)(that
is equivalent). Then since w
0
M

, S(t, w
0
) M

for each t 0, and esti-


mate (5.38) holds. We dene solution (v, u) of stabilization problem (5.1)(5.4)
by formula (5.13) where w(t, x) = S(t, w
0
) is the solution of (5.15), (5.9). Then
(5.7) follows from (5.13), (5.38)
