Abstract: We are interested in the exact null controllability of the equation partialtfpartialx2fx2partialy2f=mathbf1omegau, with control u supported on omega. We show that, when omega does not intersect a horizontal band, the considered equation is never null-controllable. The main idea is to interpret the associated observability inequality as an L2 estimate on entire functions, which Runge's theorem disproves. To that end, we study in particular the first eigenvalue of the operator partialx2+(nx)2 with Dirichlet conditions on (1,1) and we show a quite precise estimation it satisfies, even when n is in some complex domain.
