Exact controllability of the 1-d wave equation from a moving interior point
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 19 (2013) no. 1, pp. 301-316.

We consider the linear wave equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded interval, and with a control acting on a moving point. We give sufficient conditions on the trajectory of the control in order to have the exact controllability property.
