Exact controllability to the trajectories of the heat equation with Fourier boundary conditions : the semilinear case
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 12 (2006) no. 3, pp. 466-483.

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