Let the matrix operator $L = D\partial_{xx} + q(x)A_0$, with $D = diag(1, \nu)$, $\nu \neq 1$, $q \in L^{\infty} (0, $\pi$)$, and $A_0$ is a Jordan block of order 1. We analyze the boundary null controllability for system $y_t - Ly = 0$.…

We study the null controllability of three parabolic equations. The control is acting only on one of the three equations. The three equations are coupled by means of two cubic nonlinearities. The linearized control system around 0 is not…

We study (approximate) null-controllability of parabolic equations in $L_p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and provide explicit bounds on the control cost. In particular we consider systems of the form $\dot{x}(t) = -A_p x(t) + \mathbf{1}_E u(t)$, $x(0) =…
