Abstract

This paper is concerned with the global exact controllability ofthe semilinear heat equation (with nonlinear terms involving the state andthe gradient) completed with boundary conditions of the form ${\partialy\over\partial n} + f(y) = 0$ . We consider distributed controls, with support in a small set. The null controllability of similar linear systems has been analyzedin a previous first part of this work. In this second part we show that, when the nonlinear terms arelocally Lipschitz-continuous and slightly superlinear, one has exactcontrollability to the trajectories.
