In this article, we study the null-controllability of a heat equation in a domain composed of two media of different constant conductivities. In particular, we are interested in the behavior of the system when the conductivity of the medium on which the control does not act goes to infinity, corresponding at the limit to a perfectly conductive medium. In that case, and under suitable geometric conditions, we obtain a uniform null-controllability result. Our strategy is based on   the analysis of the controllability of the corresponding wave operators and the transmutation technique, which explains the geometric conditions.

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.

We study the partial Gelfand–Shilov regularizing effect and the exponential decay for the solutions to evolution equations associated with a class of accretive non-selfadjoint quadratic operators, which fail to be globally hypoelliptic on the whole phase space. By taking advantage of the associated Gevrey regularizing effects, we study the null-controllability of parabolic equations posed on the whole Euclidean space associated with this class of possibly non-globally hypoelliptic quadratic operators. We prove that these parabolic equations are null-controllable in any positive time from thick control subsets. This thickness property is known to be a necessary and sufficient condition for the null-controllability of the heat equation posed on the whole Euclidean space. Our result shows that this geometric condition turns out to be a sufficient one for the null-controllability of a large class of quadratic differential operators.
