Local Exact Controllability for the One-Dimensional Compressible Navier-Stokes Equation

International audienceIn this paper we deal with the isentropic (compressible) Navier-Stokes equation in one space dimension and we adress the problem of the boundary controllability for this system. We prove that we can drive initial conditions which are sufficiently close to some constant states to those constant states. This is done under some natural hypotheses on the time of control and on the regularity on the initial conditions
