By means of the Carleman-type estimate, we obtain an explicit observability estimate for the wave equation with a potential. As its application, we get the exact internal controllability of the semilinear wave equations in any space dimensions.
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.
