Abstract: In this paper we prove a uniform controllability result for a fourth order parabolic partial differential equation which includes a transport term, when the coefficients of higher order terms vanish. We prove the null controllability of the system with a single boundary control, and also it is obtained that the cost of the control decreases to zero, under the hypothesis of the control time being large enough. Moreover, we prove that, if the control time is small enough, the cost of controllability increases to infinity.


In the paper, a fourth order parabolic differential equation including a transport term (whose adjoint operator is diagonalizable) is studied in the case where the coefficients of the higher order terms vanish. First, the authors prove the well-posedness of the proposed system by establishing a transposition scheme. The main goal of the paper is to analyze the null controllability of the considered system with a single boundary control. The authors also show that the cost of the control decreases to zero under the hypothesis of the control time being sufficiently large.
