In this paper, we study the local exact boundary controllability of entropy solutions to linearly degenerate quasilinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws with characteristics of constant multiplicity. We prove the two-sided boundary controllability, the one-sided boundary controllability and the two-sided boundary controllability with fewer controls, by applying the strategy used in [T. Li and L. Yu, J. Math. Pures et Appl. 107 (2017) 1–40; L. Yu, Chinese Ann. Math., Ser. B (To appear)]. Our constructive method is based on the well-posedness of semi-global solutions constructed by the limit of ε-approximate front tracking solutions to the mixed initial-boundary value problem with general nonlinear boundary conditions, and on some further properties of both ε-approximate front tracking solutions and limit solutions.
