This paper concerns with the boundary control of a degenerate pseudo-parabolic equation. Compare to the results those for degenerate parabolic equations, we discover that the null controllability property for the degenerate pseudo-parabolic equation is false, but the approximate controllability in some proper state space holds.

Keywords: Controllability, observability, degenerate pseudo-parabolic equation.
