Exact Controllability and Stabilization of the Wave Equation

Enrique Zuazua (Eibar, Basque Country, 1961) holds the Chair for Dynamics, Control, Machine Learning and Numerics - Alexander von Humboldt Professorship at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and part-time appointments at UAM in Madrid and Deusto Foundation in Bilbao. With a dual PhD (University of the Basque Country and Université Pierre et Marie Curie), his research in applied mathematics covers PDEs, systems control, numerical analysis and machine learning.

“This book is an indispensable guide. Its blend of rigorous theory, practical tools, and accessible exposition ensures that it will serve as a lasting resource for anyone involved in the study or application of the control and stabilization of the wave equation.” (Kaïs Ammari, zbMATH 1555.35005, 2025)
