Summary: The optimal boundary control by either a displacement or an elastic boundary force at one endpoint of a string in an arbitrary large time interval \(T\) under the condition that the other endpoint is fixed was found in closed form in [the authors, Differ. Equ. 42, No. 11, 1633-1644 (2006); translation from Differ. Uravn. 42, No. 11, 1558–1570 (2006; Zbl 1131.49028), Differ. Equ. 42, No. 12, 1775–1786 (2006); translation from Differ. Uravn. 42, No. 12, 1699–1711 (2006; Zbl 1132.49032)].
The technique developed in [the authors, loc. cit.] proves to be insufficient for solving similar optimization problems with free second endpoint and should be substantially modified. In the present paper, we suggest a modification of the method in [the authors, loc. cit.], which permits one to compute and write out an explicit analytic expression for the optimal boundary control by the displacement of the endpoint \(x=0\) of the string for an arbitrary sufficiently large time interval \(T\); the second endpoint \(x=l\) of the string is free, and the control brings the vibration process of the string described by the generalized solution u(x, t) of the wave equation
\[ u_{tt}(x,t)-u_{xx}(x,t)=0 \]
from an arbitrary given initial state
\[ \{u(x,0)= \varphi(x), u_t(x,0)=\psi(x)\} \]
to an arbitrary terminal state
\[ \{u(x,T)= \widehat{\varphi}(x),\;u_t(x,T)= \widehat{\psi}(x)\}. \]
