The bang-bang property of time optimal controls for the Burgers equations in dimension up to three, with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and distributed controls acting on an open subset of the domain is established. This relies on an observability estimate from a measurable set in time for linear parabolic equations, with potentials depending on both space and time variables. The proof of the bang-bang property relies on a Kakutani fixed point argument.
Keywords: time optimal controls, bang-bang property, observability estimate from measurable sets., Burgers equation.
