Abstract: In the paper, we show a global Carleman estimate for the non-local heat equation. To be more precise, let $OmegasubsetR{R}^d$ be a bounded domain and $COsubsetOmega$ an open subdomain, $sin(0,1)$. We show that there exist constants $C_1,C_2,r_0,T_0>0$ and a weight function $alpha:Omegao(0,infty)$ such that any solution $u$ of %consider the following system % �egin{eqnarray}label{oben1} left{ �egin{array}{rcl} imed u(x,t)+(-De)^s u (x,t) &=&f(x,t) quadmbox{for}quad (x,t)in Om imes (0,infty), \ u(x,t) &=& 0 quadmbox{for}quad(x,t)in partial Om imes (0,infty), end{array} ight. end{eqnarray} satisfies for all $rge{r}_0$ and $T>0$ �egin{eqnarray}label{Carle} % lefteqn{ int_0^TBig[ int_Om e^{-2rfrac {alpha(x)}{t(T-t)}} |f(x,t)|^2,dx+C_1int_CO e^{-2rfrac {alpha(x)}{t(T-t)}} frac {r^2}{t^4(T-t)^4}|u(x,t)|^2dx,Big] dt vspace{2cm} }&& \ onumber &ge & C_2 Bigg[int_0^T int_Om e^{-2rfrac {alpha(x)}{t(T-t)}}Big{ �ig|(-Delta)^s u(x,t)�ig|^2 + frac 12 Big| imed u(x,t)Big|^2+ frac r{t^4(T-t)^4},|u(t,x)|^2Big} dx, dt. %del{\ %&&vspace{2cm}}+ r^3int_0^T int_mathcal{O} frac {r^3}{t^3(T-t)^3} Phi^2(x,t) |u(x,t)|^2 , dx, dtBigg]. end{eqnarray} % In order to prove this result, we use the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension procedure. To illustrate the applicability of the result, we prove as a second main result the final state observability of the non-local heat equation.
