We analyze the control properties of heat equations with memory terms. We recall previous results showing that if the moving support of the control covers the whole domain where heat diffuses, the system is null controllable when the memory…

We consider the control problem for the generalized heat equation for a Schroedinger operator on a domain with a reflection symmetry with respect to a hyperplane. We show that if this system is null-controllable, then so is the system on…

We establish both the existence and uniqueness of non-negative global solutions for the nonlinear heat equation $u_t-\Delta u=|x|^{-\gamma}\,u^q$, $0<q<1$, $\gamma>0$ in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^N$, and for non-negative initial data…

The null controllability of the heat equation is known for decades [19,23,30]. The finite time stabilizability of the one dimensional heat equation was proved by Coron--Nguy\^en [13], while the same question for high dimensional spaces…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite or locally finite connected weighted graph, $\Delta$ be the usual graph Laplacian. Using heat kernel estimate, we prove the existence and nonexistence of global solutions for the following semilinear heat equation…

Consider the stochastic partial differential equation u_t=u_{xx}+u^gamma dot{W}, where x in [0,J], dot{W}=dot{W}(t,x) is 2-parameter white noise, and we assume that the initial function u(0,x) is nonnegative and not identically 0. We impose…

In many practical applications of control theory some constraints on the state and/or on the control need to be imposed. In this paper, we prove controllability results for semilinear parabolic equations under positivity constraints on the…
