    Indirect boundary observability of a weakly coupled wave system (English)
    0 references
    This paper studies the indirect boundary observability of a coupled system of two wave equations. It has been proven that for a sufficiently long time, the observation of the trace of the normal derivative of the first component of the solution on a part of the boundary allows us to get back a weakened energy of the initial data, if the coupling parameter is small but non vanishing. The result allows us to obtain a new uniqueness theorem as well as an indirect exact controllability result.
