Abstract:
This paper considers a control problem for a pseudo-parabolic equation with an involution operator in a bounded domain. A generalized solution to the corresponding initial boundary value problem is obtained. By introducing an additional integral condition, the control problem is reduced to a Volterra integral equation of the first kind. To show that the integral equation has a solution, some estimates are obtained for the kernel of this integral equation. The existence of a solution to the integral equation is shown using the Laplace transform method and the admissibility of the control function is proved.
