We present a simple proof of the interior approximate controllability for the following broad class of second-order equations in the Hilbert space L2 Ω: y¨ Ay 1 ut, t ∈ 0, τ , y 0 y , ω 0 N 2 y˙ 0 y , where Ω is a domain in N ≥ 1, y , y ∈ L Ω, ω is an open nonempty subset 1 0 1 of Ω, 1ω denotes the characteristic function of the set ω, the distributed control u belongs to 2 2 2 2 L 0, τ ; L Ω, and A :
