On the optimal controllability time for linear hyperbolic systems with time-dependent coefficients

The optimal time for the controllability of linear hyperbolic systems in one dimensional space with one-side controls has been obtained recently for time-independent coefficients in our previous works. In this paper, we consider linear hyperbolic systems with time-varying zero-order terms. We show the possibility that the optimal time for the null-controllability becomes significantly larger than the one of the time-invariant setting even when the zero-order term is indefinitely differentiable. When the analyticity with respect to time is imposed for the zero-order term, we also establish that the optimal time is the same as in the time-independent setting.
