Carleman estimates and Lipschitz stability for Grushin-type operators (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The Baouendi-Grushin operator is an important example of a degenerate elliptic operator that has strong connections with almost-riemannian structures. It is also the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup on Lebesgue spaces with very interesting properties from the point of view of control theory. Such properties will be discussed in this lecture, starting with approximate and null controllability.
We will then address the inverse source problem for these operators deriving a Lipschitz stability result.
