Abstract

We consider the exact controllability of Maxwell’s equations in a general region. Combining the frequency domain condition developed recently by Liu [11] and the multiplier techniques, we show that the system has exact internal controllability when the control is distributed and acts in an ε-neighborhood of the boundary.
