Optimal feedback control of a class of distributed-parameter systems with incomplete measurement
Slightly below the transition temperatures, the behavior of superconducting materials is governed by the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation which characterizes the dynamical interaction of the density of superconducting electron pairs and the exited electromagnetic potential. In this paper, an optimal control problem of the strength of external magnetic field for one-dimensional thin film superconductors with respect to a convex criterion functional is considered. It is formulated as a nonlinear coefficient...
We consider a linear damped wave equation defined on a two-dimensional domain Ω, with a dissipative term localized in a subset ω. We address the shape design problem which consists in optimizing the shape of ω in order to minimize the energy of the system at a given time T . By introducing an adjoint problem, we first obtain explicitly the (shape) derivative of the energy at time T with respect to the variation in ω. Expressed as a boundary integral on ∂ω, this derivative is then used as an advection...
A sharp integrability result for non-negative adjoint solutions to planar non-divergence elliptic equations is proved. A uniform estimate is also given for the Green's function.
The Linear-Quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem is studied for a class of first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation models by using a nonlinear infinite-dimensional (distributed parameter) Hilbert state-space description. First the dynamical properties of the linearized model around some equilibrium profile are studied. Next the LQ-feedback operator is computed by using the corresponding operator Riccati algebraic equation whose solution is obtained via a related matrix Riccati differential...
We study the potential which minimizes the fundamental gap of the Schrödinger operator under the total mass constraint. We consider the relaxed potential and prove a regularity result for the optimal one, we also give a description of it. A consequence of this result is the existence of an optimal potential under L1 constraints.
A multiphase generalization of the Monge–Kantorovich optimal transportation problem is addressed. Existence of optimal solutions is established. The optimality equations are related to classical Electrodynamics.

We consider the wave and Schrödinger equations on a bounded open connected subset of a Riemannian manifold, with Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin boundary conditions whenever its boundary is nonempty. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset of during a time interval with . It is well known that, if the pair satisfies the Geometric Control Condition ( being an open set), then an observability inequality holds guaranteeing that the total energy of solutions can be...
We prove partial regularity with optimal Hölder exponent of vector-valued minimizers u of the quasiconvex variational integral under polynomial growth. We employ the indirect method of the bilinear form.
