Abstract: We study the null controllability of the parabolic equation associated with the Grushin-type operator A=partialx2+|x|2gammapartialy2,,(gamma>0), in the rectangle Omega=(1,1)imes(0,1), under an additive control supported in the strip omega=(a,b)imes(0,1),,(0<a,b<1). We prove that the equation is null controllable in any positive time for gamma<1, and that it fails to be so for gamma>1. In the transition regime gamma=1, we show that both behaviors live together: a positive minimal time is required for null controllability. Our approach is based on the fact that, thanks to the particular geometric configuration, null controllability is equivalent to the observability of the Fourier components of the solution of the adjoint system uniformly with respect to the frequency.
