## On some boundary control problems

 1 Università degli Studi di Firenze, piazza Brunelleschi 6, 50121 Firenze, Italy

Received  March 2015 Revised  July 2015 Published  April 2016

The boundary controllability problems firstly discussed, in this paper, might be described by a one-dimensional $x$-space equation and $t>0$, modeling - at same time $t$ - different physical phenomena in a composite solid made of different materials. These phenomena may be governed, at same time $t$, for example, by the heat equation and by the Schrödinger equation in separate regions. Interface conditions are assumed. Extensions of such boundary controllability problems to two-dimensional $(x,y)$-space are also investigated.
