Abstract We consider a control system for a parabolic equation in a Banach space with uniformly bounded nonlinear termF, $$dz(t)/dt + Az(t) = F(t, z(t)) + Bf(t), t 〉 0.$$ Here,Bf(t) corresponds to a finite-dimensional control. We prove the equivalence of approximate controllability for the above nonlinear system and that for the linear system $$dz(t)/dt + Az(t) = Bf(t), t 〉 0.$$ Our method is based on results on approximate controllability for linear parabolic systems and estimates of solutions. A practical example is also given for a diffusion and reaction model.
