Abstract
We study the approximate controllability property for y(t) - Delta phi(y) = u chi(omega), on Omega x (0, T), where Omega is a bounded open set of R-N and omega subset of Omega. First, we show some negative results for the case phi(s) = \s\(m-1)s, 0 < m < 1, by means of an obstruction phenomenon. In a second part, we obtain a positive answer on the space H-1-gamma(Omega), for any gamma > 0, for a class of functions phi essentially linear at infinity, by using a higher order vanishing viscosity argument.
