Unique continuation property near a corner and its fluid-structure controllability consequences
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 15 (2009) no. 2, pp. 279-294.

We study a non standard unique continuation property for the biharmonic spectral problem Δ 2 w=-λΔw in a 2D corner with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a supplementary third order boundary condition on one side of the corner. We prove that if the corner has an angle 0<θ 0 <2π, θ 0 π and θ 0 3π/2, a unique continuation property holds. Approximate controllability of a 2-D linear fluid-structure problem follows from this property, with a control acting on the elastic side of a corner in a domain containing a Stokes fluid. The proof of the main result is based in a power series expansion of the eigenfunctions near the corner, the resolution of a coupled infinite set of finite dimensional linear systems, and a result of Kozlov, Kondratiev and Mazya, concerning the absence of strong zeros for the biharmonic operator [Math. USSR Izvestiya 34 (1990) 337-353]. We also show how the same methodology used here can be adapted to exclude domains with corners to have a local version of the Schiffer property for the Laplace operator.
