“…The notion of regional controllability for distributed linear systems was introduced by El Jai et al (1995) and consists in steering such a system to a desired state only in a subregion of the system evolution domain. Important developments and several works concerning linear parabolic systems were published (El Jai et al, 1995;Zerrik et al, 2004;Zerrik et al, 2000). Next, Zerrik and Larhrissi extended these results to linear hyperbolic systems and proposed approaches to the computation of the optimal control which allows us to reach a desired target in such a subregion (Zerrik et al, 2001;Zerrik et al, 2002).…”
