Controllability results for cascade systems of m coupled parabolic PDEs by one control force

In this paper we will analyze the controllability properties of a linear coupled parabolic system of m equations when a unique distributed control is exerted on the system. We will see that, when a cascade system is considered, we can prove a global Carleman inequality for the adjoint system which b...

Sumario:In this paper we will analyze the controllability properties of a linear coupled parabolic system of m equations when a unique distributed control is exerted on the system. We will see that, when a cascade system is considered, we can prove a global Carleman inequality for the adjoint system which bounds the global integrals of the variable ϕ = (ϕ1, . . . , ϕm)∗ in terms of a unique localized variable. As a consequence, we will obtain the null controllability property for the system with one control force.
