Null controllability for some systems of two backward stochastic heat equations with one control force

Abstract

The authors establish the null controllability for some systems coupled by two backward stochastic heat equations. The desired controllability result is obtained by means of proving a suitable observability estimate for the dual system of the controlled system.

Keywords
