Null controllability of parabolic problems : classical theory and non standard cases
- Introduction: notion of null controllability.
- Standard theory for uniformly parabolic problems in bounded domains:
global Carleman estimates, observability inequalities.
- The case of the heat equation in unbounded domains: lack of null
controllability; notion of regional controllability.
- A class of non uniformly parabolic equation: effect of a vanishing
diffusion coefficient at the boundary.
- Some other non standard situations.
