In this paper, we introduce a novel concept called the Graph Geometric Control Condition (GGCC). It turns out to be a simple, geometric rewriting of many of the frameworks in which the controllability of PDEs on graphs has been studied. We…

We study a control problem governed by a semilinear parabolic equation. The control is a measure that acts as the kernel of a possibly nonlocal time delay term and the functional includes a non-differentiable term with the measure-norm of…
