Observability inequalities and measurable sets (Q484253)

Summary: This paper presents two observability inequalities for the heat equation over \(\Omega\times (0,T)\). In the first one, the observation is from a subset of positive measure in \(\Omega\times (0,T)\), while in the second, the observation is from a subset of positive surface measure on \(\partial\Omega\times (0,T)\). It also proves the Lebeau-Robbiano spectral inequality when \(\Omega\) is a bounded Lipschitz and locally star-shaped domain. Some applications for the above-mentioned observability inequalities are provided.
