We investigate the local exact controllability of a linear age and space population dynamics model where the birth process is nonlocal. The methods we use combine the Carleman estimates for the backward adjoint system, some estimates in the theory of parabolic boundary value problems in L k and the Banach fixed point theorem.
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.
