Abstract

In [2] we used three controls for a system of two coupled parabolic equations. We defined three functionals to be minimized and a hierarchy on the controls obtaining from the optimality condition a system of six coupled equations. In order to prove the null controllability, by means of the leader control acting only on the first equation, we give a proof of a Carleman inequality (Proposition 6.4) that in fact is incorrect. In this corrigendum we slightly modify the followers functionals given by (3) page 118 [2] in such a way that for the corresponding hierarchic system a correct Carleman inequality can be proved. This modification allows to introduce a coefficient ( was zero in [2]).
