[Estimées d'observabilité pour l'équation des ondes avec des coefficients continus]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 355 (2017) no. 5, pp. 499-514.

Le but de cette note est de démontrer des estimées d'observabilité pour l'équation des ondes avec une densité continue dans le domaine, et qui satisfait une condition de type multiplicateur seulement au sens des distributions. Notre argument est essentiellement basé sur le fait que l'on peut alors construire des approximations convenables d'une telle fonction de densité par des fonctions régulières pour lesquelles les équations des ondes correspondantes sont uniformément observables. La preuve se termine alors par un passage à la limite relativement standard.

The goal of this note is to prove observability estimates for the wave equation with a density which is only continuous in the domain, and satisfies some multiplier-type condition only in the sense of distributions. Our main argument is that one can construct suitable approximations of such density by a sequence of smooth densities whose corresponding wave equations are uniformly observable. The end of the argument then consists in a rather standard passage to the limit.
