Approximate controllability of a class of degenerate systems

In this paper we consider the approximate controllability of a class of degenerate systems. The equations may be weakly degenerate and strongly degenerate on the boundary. We prove that the control systems are approximate controllable by constructing the controls via the conjugate problems.
