Carleman estimates for degenerate parabolic operators with application to null controllability
[ 講演概要 ]
From the controllability viewpoint, the behavior of uniformly parabolic equations is by now well understood. On the contrary, fewer results are known for degenerate parabolic equations, even though such a class of operators arise in many applied, as well as theoretical, problems.

A fairly complete analysis of the null controllability properties of degenerate parabolic equations in one space dimension was completed in a series of recent works by the speaker and coauthors. The aim of this talk is to review the above theory and present some recent results obtained in collaboration with P. Martinez and J.Vancostenoble for higher dimensional problems. Essential tools of such an approach are adapted Carleman estimates and Hardy type inequalities.
