Abstract
In this paper, we prove a local null controllability result for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations on a (smooth) bounded domain of R^3 with null Dirichlet boundary conditions. The control is distributed in an arbitrarily small nonempty open subset and has two vanishing components. J.-L. Lions and E. Zuazua proved that the linearized system is not necessarily null controllable even if the control is distributed on the entire domain, hence the standard linearization method fails. We use the return method together with a new algebraic method inspired by the works of M. Gromov and previous results by M. Gueye.
