Carleman estimates and controllability results for fully-discrete approximations of 1-D parabolic equations
share
In this paper, we prove a Carleman estimate for fully-discrete approximations of parabolic operators in which the discrete parameters h and t are connected to the large Carleman parameter. We use this estimate to obtain relaxed observability inequalities which yield, by duality, controllability results for fully-discrete linear and semilinear parabolic equations.
