We prove that there exist controls insensitizing the $L^2$ -norm of the observation of the solution in an open subset $\\mathcal{O}$ of the domain, under suitable assumptions on the data. This problem is equivalent to an exact controllability result for a cascade system. First we prove a global Carleman inequality for the linearized Navier-Stokes system with right-hand side, which leads to the null controllability at any time $T>0$. Then, we deduce a local null controllability result for the cascade system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-07-13T14:10:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "navier-stokes equations", "insensitizing controls", "local null controllability result", "cascade system", "dirichlet boundary conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013AnIHP..30..825G" } } }
