Abstract

In this article we establish the well-posedness, energy estimates, stability, and local null controllability for the thermistor system modeled by a parabolic-parabolic system using a control force acting on just one equation of the system. The proof of the controllability is based on appropriate Carleman estimates and Liusternik's inverse function theorem to obtain the local controllability of the nonlinear system. The coupling of the system happens both in the terms of order zero and one, which requires the use of a special Carleman estimate for the system.
