The goal of this note is to present the results of the references [5] and [4]. We study the null controllability of the parabolic equations associated with the Grushin-type operator () in the rectangle or with the Kolmogorov-type operator () in the rectangle , under an additive control supported in an open subset of the space domain.We prove that the Grushin-type equation is null controllable in any positive time for and that there is no time for which it is null controllable for ....
