1. Introduction
The regional observability is one of the most important notions of systems theory. It consists to reconstruct the trajectory only in a subregion in the whole domain. This concept has been widely developed see [1] [2] . Afterwards, the concept of regional gradient observability for parabolic systems has been developed see [3] - [7] and for hyperbolic systems see [8] [9] , it concerns the reconstruction of the gradient conditions initials only in a critical subregion interior to the system domain without the knowledge of the conditions initials.
The aim of this papers is to study the regional gradient observability of an important class of semilinear hyperbolic systems. For the sake of brevity and simplicity, we shall focus our attention on the case where the dynamic of the system is a sectorial operator linear and generating an analytical semigroup
on the Hilbert space.
The plan of the paper is as follows: Section 2 is devoted to the presentation of problem of regional gradient of semilinear hyperbolic systems, and then we give definitions and propositions of this new concept. Section 3 concerns the sectorial approach. Section 4 concerns the numerical approach which gives algorithm can simulated by a numerical example.
2. Position of the Problem
Let
be an open bounded subset of
. For
, we denote
,
and we consider the following hyperbolic semi-linear system
(1)
and the linear part of the system (1) is
(2)
where
is an elliptic and second order operator and
is a nonlinear operator assumed to be locally Lipschitzian, system (1) is augmented with the output function given by
(3)
where
(resp.
if the subregion of interest is a boundary part
of the system evolution domain
) is a linear operator, and depends on the number q and the nature of the considered sensors. The observation space is
and assumes that
![]()
.
Let ![]()
For
the system (2) is equivalent to
(4)
and the system (1) is equivalent to
(5)
augmented with the output function
(6)
with

,
is the semigroup generated by the operator
.
Let’s consider a basis of eigenfunctions of the operator
, with the condition of Dirichlet which noted
and eigenvalues associated are
with multiplicity
.
We can write for any ![]()
![]()
The system (5) has a unique solution that can be expressed as follows see [13]
(7)
then the output Equation (6) can be expressed by
![]()
Let
be the observation operator defined by
![]()
which is linear and bounded with the adjoint
given by
![]()
Consider the operator
given by the formula
![]()
where
![]()
(resp.
if the subregion of interest is a boundary part
of the system evolution domain
.)
is the adjoint of

The initial condition
(initial state
and initial speed
) and
its gradient are assumed un- known. For
an open subregion of

Finally, we reconstruct the operator as follows

Definition 1
・ The system (2) together with the output (3) is said to be exactly (resp. weakly) G-observable in
if
(resp. ![]()
・ The system (2) together with the output (3) is said to be exactly (resp. weakly) G-observable in
if
(resp.
).
Remark 1.
・ If the system (2) together with the output (3) is exactly G-observable on
(resp. in
) then it is weakly G-observable on
.
・ For
the system (2) together with the output (3) is exactly (resp. weakly) G-observable on
then it is exactly (resp. weakly) G-observable on
. see [9] .
Definition 2 The semilinear system (1) augmented by the output function (3) is said to be gradient observable or G-observable on
(resp. in
) if we can reconstruct the gradient of its state and speed on a subregion
of
(resp. in
of
).
Let the gradient
of the initial condition
be decomposed as follows:
(8)
where
,
and
![]()
Problem (*)
Given system (1) augmented by the output (3) on
, is it possible to reconstruct
which is the gradient of initial condition of (1) in
? (resp. on
.)
3. Sectorial Case
In this section, we study Problem (*) under some supplementary hypothesis on
and the nonlinear operator
.
With the same notations as in the previous case, we reconsider the semilinear system described by the Equ- ation (5) augmented by the output (6) where one suppose that the operator
generates an analytic semigroup
in the state space E.
Let’s consider
such that
with a is a positive real number and ![]()
denotes the real part of spectrum of
. Then for
, we define the fractional power
as a closed operator with domain
which is a dense Banach space on E endowed with the graph norm
![]()
Let us consider
then the objective is to study the Problem (*) in V endowed with the norm
(9)
we have
![]()
where c is a constant. For more details, see ( [2] [11] [14] ).
For
, assume that
(10)
and the operator
is well defined and satisfies the following conditions:
(11)
This hypothesis are verified by many important class of semi linear hyperbolic systems. Various examples are given and discussed in ( [14] - [16] ).
We show that there exists a set of admissible initial gradient states and admissible initial gradient speed, admissible in the sense that allows to obtain system (2) weakly G-observable.
Let’s consider
![]()
given by
![]()
where
is the restriction in
and
is the residual part of the initial gradient condition
given by (8). we assume that
(12)
then we have the following result
Proposition 1 Suppose that the system (2) is weakly G-observable on
, and (10), (11) and (12) satisfied, then the following assertion hold:
・ There exists
and
such that for all
the function
has a unique
fixed point
in the ball
solution of the system (5).
・ There exist
and
such that
, the mapping f is Lipschitzian where
![]()
Proof.
・ Since
, then there exists
such that
![]()
and we have
.
Let us consider
and
in
and
we have
![]()
where
![]()
Using Holder’s inequality we take
![]()
and using (11), we have
![]()
On the other hand, we have
![]()
but we have
![]()
and
![]()
Using Holder’s inequality, we obtain
![]()
then we have
![]()
![]()
and
![]()
where
.
Finally
![]()
Let’s consider
,
and
,
, then
.
It is sufficient to take
and
, then for all
we have ![]()
・ Let
and
be the solution of the system (5) corresponding respectively to the initial gradient condition, we suppose that we have the same residual part (
), then for
we have
![]()
but we have
![]()
and we deduce that
(13)
Finally, f is Lipschitzian in
.
Remark 2 The given results show that there exists a set of admissible gradient initial state. If the gradient initial state is taken in
, with a bounded residual part then the system (5) has only one solution in
.
Here, we show that if the measurements are in
, with
is suitably chosen then the gradient initial state can be obtained as a solution of a fixed point problem.
Let us consider the mapping
(14)
and assume that
.
Then we have the following result.
Proposition 2 Assume that
(15)
(16)
and if the linear system (2) is weakly G-observable on Γ and (11) holds, then there exists a2 > 0 and
, such that for all
, the function (14) admit a unique fixed point in
which correspond to the gradient initial condition
observed on
. Furthermore, the function
is Lipschitzian.
Proof. Let us consider
and
in
, using ((9),(11), (13), (15) and (16)) we have
![]()
Or
, then there exists
such that
![]()
and we have
.
Then we obtain
![]()
On the other hand, using the inequalities (11), (15) and (16), we have
![]()
Let’s consider
.
In order to have
, it suffices to consider
.
For
, we have
![]()
which gives
![]()
Then
![]()
which shows that h is Lipschitzian.
Remark 3 We can consider the regional intern problem in a subregion
of
(see [17] ).
4. Numerical Approach
We show the existence of a sequence of the initial gradient state and initial gradient speed which converges respectively to the regional initial gradient state and initial gradient speed to be observed on
.
Proposition 3 We suppose that the hypothesis of the proposition (3.2) are verified, then for
, the sequence of the initial gradient condition defined in
by
(17)
converges to
the regional initial gradient condition (the regional initial gradient state
and the regional initial gradient speed
) to be observed on
. where
is the residual part of the initial gradient condition.
Proof. We have,
![]()
or
, then
, ![]()
![]()
Then
is a Cauchy sequence on V and is convergent.
We consider
and
with
![]()
we have
.
So
![]()
then
![]()
which show that the sequence
converges to
in Y on the other hand, we have
![]()
hence
converges to the regional initial gradient
to be observed on
.

6. Conclusion
The question of the regional internal and boundary gradient observability for semilinear hyperbolic systems was discussed and solved using the sectorial approach, which used sectorial properties of dynamical operators, the fixed point techniques and the properties of the linear part of the considered system. Many questions remain open, such as the case of the regional gradient observability of semilinear systems using Hilbert Uniqueness Method (HUM) and the constrained observability of semilinear hyperbolic system.
