Abstract

This paper deals with the null-controllability of a system of mixed parabolic-elliptic pdes at any given time T>0. More precisely, we consider the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky–Korteweg-de Vries equation coupled with a second order elliptic equation posed in the interval (0,1). We first show that the linearized system is globally null-controllable by means of a localized interior control acting on either the KS-KdV or the elliptic equation. Using the Carleman approach, we provide the existence of a control with the explicit cost CeC/T with some constant C>0 independent in T. Then, applying the source term method developed in [39], followed by the Banach fixed point theorem, we conclude the small-time local null-controllability result of the nonlinear system.
