Abstract

The article considers the controllability of a fractional order diffusion equation. We show that the resulting fractional order diffusion equation is null-controllable. Our method reduces essentially to the study of a moment problem related to the Mittag-Leffler functions. Paley-Wiener type theorems are applied to construct biorthogonal sequence to a family of complex Mittag-Leffler functions.
