In this paper, we consider a nonlinear system of two parabolic equations, with a distributed control in the first equation and an odd coupling term in the second one. We prove that the nonlinear system is locally null-controllable for any arbitrary small time. The main difficulty is that the linearized system is not null-controllable. To overcome this obstacle, we extend in a nonlinear setting the strategy introduced in [18] that consists in constructing odd controls for the linear heat equation. The proof relies on three main steps. First, we obtain from the classical parabolic Carleman estimate, conjugated with maximal regularity results, a weighted observability inequality for the nonhomogeneous heat equation. Secondly, we perform a duality argument, close to the well-known Hilbert Uniqueness Method in a reflexive Banach setting, to prove that the heat equation perturbed by a source term is null-controllable thanks to odd controls. Finally, the nonlinearity is handled with a Schauder fixed-point argument.
