We focus on the linear Kawahara equation in a bounded domain, employing two
boundary controls. The controllability of this system has been previously demonstrated
over the past decade using the Hilbert uniqueness method, which involves proving an
observability inequality, in general, shown via Carleman estimates. Here, we extend
this understanding by achieving exact controllability within a space of analytic
functions, employing the flatness approach, which is a new approach for
higher-order dispersive systems. We also provide a class of reachable states (taking
as initial data) which are holomorphic in some disk around
.
