Title

Control of some reaction-diffusion equations

Abstract

In this talk, we aim at giving an introduction to the Control Theory of partial differential equations. To do that, we introduce first the concept of controllability in an ordinary differential equation framework. Secondly, we look at some second order reaction-diffusion models as the Heat equation. Finally, we present some recent results for the controllability of fourth-orderÌýreaction-diffusionÌýequations.
