Abstract

In this paper we establish some exact controllability results for systems of two parabolic equations of the Stokes kind. In a first part, we prove the existence of insensitizing controls for the L2 norm of the solutions and the curl of solutions of linear Stokes equations. Then, in the limit case where one can expect null controllability to hold for a system of two Stokes equations (namely, when the coupling terms concern first and second order derivatives, respectively), we prove this result for some general couplings.
