The observation is done on a subset $\omega $ of Lebesgue measure $\vert \omega \vert =L\vert \Omega \vert $, where $L\in (0,1)$ is fixed. We denote by $\mathcal{U}_L$ the class of all possible such subsets. Let $T&gt;0$. We consider first the benchmark problem of maximizing the observability energy $\int _0^T\int _\omega \vert y(t,x)^2\, dx\, dt$ over $\mathcal{U}_L$, for fixed initial data.
