We prove an exact controllability result for a one-dimensional heat equation with delay in both lower and highest order terms and nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Moreover, we give an explicit representation of the control function steering the system into a given final state. Under certain decay properties for corresponding Fourier coefficients which can be interpreted as a sufficiently high Sobolev regularity of the data, both control function and the solution are proved to be regular in the classical sense both with respect to time and space variables., 10 pages, 1 figure

In this paper, we consider a linear heat equation with constant coefficients and a single constant delay. Such equations are commonly used to model and study various problems arising in ecology and population biology when describing the temporal evolution of human or animal populations accounting for migration, interaction with the environment and certain aftereffects caused by diseases or enviromental polution, etc. Whereas dynamical systems with lumped parameters have been addressed in numerous investigations, there still remain a lot of open questions for the case of systems with distributed parameters, especially when the delay effects are incorporated. Here, we consider a general non-homogeneous one-dimensional heat equation with delay in both higher and lower order terms subject to non-homogeneous initial and boundary conditions. For this, we prove the unique existence of a classical solution as well as its continuous dependence on the data.

In the present paper, we consider a Cauchy problem for a linear second order in time abstract differential equation with pure delay. In the absence of delay, this problem, known as the harmonic oscillator, has a two-dimensional eigenspace so that the solution of the homogeneous problem can be written as a linear combination of these two eigenfunctions. As opposed to that, in the presence even of a small delay, the spectrum is infinite and a finite sum representation is not possible. Using a special function referred to as the delay exponential function, we give an explicit solution representation for the Cauchy problem associated with the linear oscillator with pure delay. In contrast to earlier works, no positivity conditions are imposed., Comment: 20 pages, 2 figures

For a wave equation with pure delay, we study an inhomogeneous initial-boundary value problem in a bounded 1D domain. Under smoothness assumptions, we prove unique existence of classical solutions for any given finite time horizon and give their explicit representation. Continuous dependence on the data in a weak extrapolated norm is also shown., Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure

We propose a system of partial differential equations with a single constant delay $\tau > 0$ describing the behavior of a one-dimensional thermoelastic solid occupying a bounded interval of $\mathbb{R}^{1}$. For an initial-boundary value problem associated with this system, we prove a global well-posedness result in a certain topology under appropriate regularity conditions on the data. Further, we show the solution of our delayed model to converge to the solution of the classical equations of thermoelasticity as $\tau \to 0$. Finally, we deduce an explicit solution representation for the delay problem., Comment: 15 pages, 1 figure

We propose a Hilbert space solution theory for a nonhomogeneous heat equation with delay in the highest order derivatives with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain. Under rather weak regularity assumptions on the data, we prove a well-posedness result and give an explicit representation of solutions. Further, we prove an exponential decay rate for the energy in the dissipative case. We also show that lower order regularizations lead to ill-posedness, also for higher-order equations. Finally, an application with physically relevant constants is given.
