contents We consider linear control problems for the heat equation of the form $\dot f (t) = -Hf (t) + \mathbf{1}_D u (t)$, $f (0) \in \ell_2 (X,m)$, where $H$ is the weighted Laplacian on a discrete graph $(X,b,m)$, and where $D \subseteq X$ is relatively dense. We show cost-uniform $α$-controllability by means of a weak observability estimate for the corresponding dual observation problem. We discuss optimality of our result as well as consequences on stabilizability properties.
