In this work, we deal with the global well-posedness and stability of the linear and nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries equations on a finite star-shaped network by acting with saturated controls. We obtain the global well-posedness by using the Kato smoothing property for the linear case and then using some estimates and a fixed point argument we deal with the nonlinear system. Finally, we obtain the exponential stability using two different kinds of saturation by proving an observability inequality via a contradiction argument. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The improved Boussinesq equation is studied in this paper. Control properties for this equation posed on a bounded interval are first considered. When the control acts through the Dirichlet boundary condition the linearized system is proved to be approximately but not spectrally controllable. In a second part, the equation is posed on the one-dimensional torus and distributed moving controls are considered. Under some condition on the velocity at which the control moves, exact controllability results for both linear and nonlinear improved Boussinesq equations are obtained applying the moment method and a fixed point argument.

In this article, we propose a new model using the Korteweg-de Vries equation on a finite star-shaped network. We first prove the well-posedness of the system and give some regularity results. Then we prove that the energy of the solutions of the dissipative system decays exponentially to zero when the time tends to infinity. Last we show an exact boundary controllability result.
