Unique continuation principle for systems of parabolic equations. (English) Zbl 1195.35080

The authors prove a unique continuation result for a cascade system of parabolic equations in which the solution of the first equation is (partially) used as a forcing term for the second equation. As a consequence, the existence of \(\varepsilon\)-insensitizing controls for some parabolic equations when the control region and the observability region do not intersect, is proved.
