The goal of this work is to compute a boundary control of reaction-diffusion partial differential equation. The boundary control is subject to a constant delay, whereas the equation may be unstable without any control. For this system…
We prove null controllability for linear and semilinear heat equations with dynamic boundary conditions of surface diffusion type. The results are based on a new Carleman estimate for this type of boundary conditions.

We consider an exit-time minimum problem with a running cost, $l\geq 0$ and unbounded controls. The occurrence of points where $l=0$ can be regarded as a transversality loss. Furthermore, since controls range over unbounded sets, the family…
