We prove the global null controllability for the one-dimensional nonlinear slow diffusion equation by using both a boundary and an internal control. We assume that the internal control is only time dependent. The proof relies on the "return method" in a combination of some local controllability results for non-degenerate equations and rescaling techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
