# Observability of $N$-dimensional integro-differential systems

• The aim of the paper is to show a reachability result for the solution of a multidimensional coupled Petrovsky and wave system when a non local term, expressed as a convolution integral, is active. Motivations to the study are in linear acoustic theory in three dimensions. To achieve that, we prove observability estimates by means of Ingham type inequalities applied to the Fourier series expansion of the solution.
