In this paper, we prove a Carleman estimate for a time-discrete parabolic operator under some condition relating the large Carleman parameter to the time step of the discretization scheme. This estimate is then used to obtain relaxed observability estimates that yield, by duality, some controllability results for linear and semi-linear time-discrete parabolic equations. We also discuss the application of this Carleman estimate to the controllability of time-discrete coupled parabolic systems.

AbstractWe consider systems of parabolic equations coupled in zero and first order terms. We establish Lipschitz estimates in {L^{q}}-norms, {2\leq q\leq\infty}, for the source in terms of the solution in a subdomain. The main tool is a family of appropriate Carleman estimates with general weights, in Lebesgue spaces, for nonhomogeneous parabolic systems.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we consider a class of finitely degenerate coupled parabolic systems. At high initial energy level <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ J(u_{0})&gt;d $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, we present a new sufficient condition to describe the global existence and nonexistence of solutions for problem (1)-(4) respectively. Moreover, by applying the Levine's concavity method, we give some affirmative answers to finite time blow up of solutions at arbitrary positive initial energy <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ J(u_{0})&gt;0 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, including the estimate of upper bound of blowup time.</p>

Abstract In this paper, we consider control systems governed by a class of semilinear parabolic equations, which are singular at the boundary and possess singular convection and reaction terms. The systems are shown to be null controllable by establishing Carleman estimates, observability inequalities and energy estimates for solutions to linearized equations.
