Abstract

We give some fundamental definitions and some Hardy-type inequalities with boundary or interior degeneracy. We also show the equivalence between null controllability and observability inequality.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Indeed, by [98, Theorem 1.3.1, Remarks 1.3.1 and 1.2.4] we have that \(u'\in C([0,T];[V,X]_{\frac{3}{4}})\subset C([0,T];[V,X]_1)= C([0,T];X)\), where \([V,X]_\theta \) denotes the \(\theta \)-th intermediate space between V and X.

  2. 2.

    In the cited theorem \(u_0\in [D({\mathcal A}),X]_{\frac{1}{2}}\), but since \(D({\mathcal A})\) is dense in X we have that \([D({\mathcal A}),X]_{\frac{1}{2}}=V\), see [98, Chap. 1, Eq. (2.42)].

  3. 3.

    With the approach therein, a clear application of the unique continuation principle is presented.
