Null-controllability of some systems of parabolic type by one control force

Similarity:

We study the null controllability by one control force of some linear systems of parabolic type. We give sufficient conditions for the null controllability property to be true and, in an abstract setting, we prove that it is not always possible to control.

Global non-negative controllability of the semilinear parabolic equation governed by bilinear control

Alexander Y. Khapalov (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study the global approximate controllability of the one dimensional semilinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation governed in a bounded domain via the coefficient (bilinear control) in the additive reaction term. Clearly, even in the linear case, due to the maximum principle, such system is not globally or locally controllable in any reasonable linear space. It is also well known that for the superlinear terms admitting a power growth at infinity the global approximate controllability...

Similarity:

In this paper, we prove the exact null controllability of certain diffusion system by rewriting it as an equivalent nonlinear parabolic integrodifferential equation with variable coefficients in a bounded interval of ℝ with a distributed control acting on a subinterval. We first prove a global null controllability result of an associated linearized integrodifferential equation by establishing a suitable observability estimate for adjoint system with appropriate assumptions on the coefficients....
