Abstract. In this talk we present some approximate controllability
results for semilinear degenerate reaction-diffusion equations
governed via the variable coefficient of the reaction term
(multiplicative control). Before, we considered a one-dimensional
uniformly parabolic problem (see [1]). For this kind of parabolic
equations there are some important obstructions to the multiplicative
controllability due to the strong maximum principle, thus two kinds of
controllability are worth studying: nonnegative controllability (see
[2]) and controllability between sign-changing states (see [1]). Then,
we are able to extend the above results to a class of degenerate
reaction-diffusion equations (see [3]) with application to some energy
balance models in climatology (see, e.g., the Budyko-Sellers model).
