Abstract

In this study, we firstly establish the well-posedness of a degenerate parabolic equation under Dirichlet boundary conditions. Following this, we introduce a shape design problem, which acts as a framework for approximating the degenerate parabolic equation through a series of uniformly parabolic equations. Finally, as a tangible application of this shape design approach, we deduce a boundary observability inequality associated with the degenerate parabolic equation.
