While the global boundary control of nonlinear wave equations that exhibit blow-up is generally impossible, we show on a typical example, motivated by laser breakdown, that it is possible to control solutions with small data so that they blow up on a prescribed compact set bounded away from the boundary of the domain. This is achieved using the representation of singular solutions with prescribed blow-up surface given by Fuchsian reduction. We outline on this example simple methods that may be of wider applicability.
Keywords: blow-up, Fuchsian reduction, symmetric hyperbolic., Boundary control, nonlinear wave equations.
