Abstract: Our goal is to study controllability and observability properties of the 1D heat equation with internal control (or observation) set omegavarepsilon=(x0varepsilon,x0+varepsilon), in the limit varepsilonightarrow0, where x0in(0,1). It is known that depending on arithmetic properties of x0, there may exist a minimal time T0 of pointwise control at x0 of the heat equation. Besides, for any varepsilon fixed, the heat equation is controllable with control set omegavarepsilon in any time T>0. We relate these two phenomena. We show that the observability constant on omegavarepsilon does not converge to 0 as varepsilonightarrow0 at the same speed when T>T0 (in which case it is comparable to varepsilon1/2) or T<T0 (in which case it converges faster to 0). We also describe the behavior of optimal L2 null-controls on omegavarepsilon in the limit varepsilonightarrow0.
