Abstract

In this paper we prove a unique continuationresult for a cascade system of parabolic equations, in which the solution of the firstequation is (partially) used as a forcing term for the second equation. As aconsequence we prove the existence of ε-insensitizing controls for someparabolic equations when the control region and the observability region do not intersect.
