Abstract

This paper presents a new observability estimate for parabolic equations in Ω×(0,T)\Omega\times(0,T), where Ω\Omega is a convex domain. The observation region is restricted over a product set of an open nonempty subset of Ω\Omega and a subset of positive measure in (0,T)(0,T). This estimate is derived with the aid of a quantitative unique continuation at one point in time. Applications to the bang-bang property for norm and time optimal control problems are provided.
