Abstract
In this paper the authors study the problem of controlling roughness (the variance) of the surfaces originating from nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations. Their study is exemplified by the stochastic Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with either the Burgers nonlinearity or the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) nonlinearity. They use distributed or point actuators. The key point is to split the original equation into a linear stochastic and a nonlinear deterministic equation, which makes it possible to apply linear feedback control methods. In the literature, there are many works using nonlinear feedback controls. Their method offers several distinct advantages since the controls they use are linear functions of the solution. They do not affect the overall dynamics of the system and decrease the computational cost. The authors present some computations without giving a theorem.
