We consider a linear nonlocal heat equation in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The non-locality is given by the presence of an integral kernel. We analyze the problem of controllability when…
It is well known that both the heat equation with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions are null controlable as soon as the control acts in a non trivial domain (i.e. a set of positive measure, see [10, 11, 12, 1, 6]. In this article, we…

In this paper we establish an observability inequality for the heat equation with bounded potentials on the whole space. Roughly speaking, such a kind of inequality says that the total energy of solutions can be controlled by the energy…
We study the boundary control problems for the wave, heat, and Schr\"odinger equations on a finite graph. We suppose that the graph is a tree (i.e., it does not contain cycles), and on each edge an equation is defined. The control is acting…
In this study we focused on the linear Kawahara equation in a bounded domain, employing two boundary controls. The controllability of this system has been previously demonstrated over the past decade using the Hilbert uniqueness method…
It is by now well known that the use of Carleman estimates allows to establish the control-lability to trajectories of nonlinear parabolic equations. However, by this approach, it is not clear how to decide whether a given function is…

The paper deals with the controllability of a degenerate beam equation. In particular, we assume that the left end of the beam is fixed, while a suitable control $f$ acts on the right end of it. As a first step we prove the existence of a…
This paper deals with the numerical computation of boundary null controls for the 1D wave equation with a potential. The goal is to compute an approximation of controls that drive the solution from a prescribed initial state to zero at a…
In this work, we establish a Carleman inequality for the heat equation with Fourier boundary conditions of the form $\partial_\nu y+by=f1_\gamma$, where the control acts on a small portion $\gamma$ of the boundary. We apply this inequality…
