In this paper, the mixed initial-boundary value problem for general first order quasi- linear hyperbolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions in the domain D = {（t, x） ｜ t ≥ 0, x ≥0} is considered. A sufficient condition to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of global weakly discontinuous solution is given.

EXACT CONTROLLABILITY FOR FIRST ORDER QUASILINEAR HYPERBOLIC SYSTEMS WITH VERTICAL CHARACTERISTICS

We consider first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems with vertical characteristics. It was shown in [4] that such systems can be exactly controllable with the help of internal controls applied to the equations corresponding to zero eigenvalues. However, it is possible that, for physical or engineering reasons, we can not put any control on the equations corresponding to zero eigenvalues. In this paper, we will establish the exact controllability only by means of physically meaningfnl internal controls applied to the equations corresponding to non-zero eigenvalues. We also show the exact controllability for a very simplified model by means of switching controls.
