Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with the internal control of a class of one-dimensional nonlinear parabolic systems with nonlocal and weakly degenerate diffusion coefficients. Our main theorem establishes a local null controllability result with only one internal control for a system of two equations. The proof, based on the ideias developed by Fursikov and Imanuvilov, is obtained from the global null controllability of the linearized system provided by Lyusternik's Inverse Mapping Theorem. This work extends the results previously treated by the authors for just one equation. For the system, the main issue is to obtain similar results with just one internal control, which requires a new Carleman estimate with the local term just depending on one of the state function.
