Abstract

Let ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N be a bounded open set with Lipschitz continuous boundary Γ\Gamma. Let γ>0\gamma>0, δ0\delta\ge 0 be real numbers and β\beta a nonnegative measurable function in L(Γ)L^\infty(\Gamma). Using some suitable Carleman estimates, we show that the linear heat equation tuγΔu=0\partial_tu - \gamma\Delta u = 0 in Ω×(0,T)\Omega\times(0,T) with the non-homogeneous general dynamic boundary conditions tuΓδΔΓuΓ+γνu+βuΓ=g\partial_tu_{\Gamma} -\delta\Delta_\Gamma u_{\Gamma}+ \gamma\partial_{\nu}u + \beta u_{\Gamma} = g on Γ×(0,T)\Gamma\times(0,T) is always null controllable from the boundary for every T>0T>0 and initial data (u0,uΓ,0)L2(Ω)×L2(Γ)(u_0,u_{\Gamma,0})\in L^2(\Omega)\times L^2(\Gamma).
