Control of Degenerate and Singular Parabolic Equations: Carleman Estimates and Observability

by Genni Fragnelli, Dimitri Mugnai

Overview

This book collects some basic results on the null controllability for degenerate and singular parabolic problems. It aims to provide postgraduate students and senior researchers with a useful text, where they can find the desired statements and the related bibliography.  For these reasons, the authors will not give all the detailed proofs of the given theorems, but just some of them, in order to show the underlying strategy in this area.
