Approximate controllability by birth control for a nonlinear population dynamics model
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Volume 17 (2011) no. 4, p. 1198-1213

In this paper we analyse an approximate controllability result for a nonlinear population dynamics model. In this model the birth term is nonlocal and describes the recruitment process in newborn individuals population, and the control acts on a small open set of the domain and corresponds to an elimination or a supply of newborn individuals. In our proof we use a unique continuation property for the solution of the heat equation and the Kakutani-Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem.
