Optimal Control of Semilinear Parabolic Equations with State-Constraints of Bottleneck Type

Maïtine Bergounioux, Fredi Tröltzsch (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider optimal distributed and boundary control problems for semilinear parabolic equations, where pointwise constraints on the control and pointwise mixed control-state constraints of bottleneck type are given. Our main result states the existence of regular Lagrange multipliers for the state-constraints. Under natural assumptions, we are able to show the existence of bounded and measurable Lagrange multipliers. The method is based on results from the theory of continuous linear programming...

Optimal feedback control of Ginzburg-Landau equation for superconductivity via differential inclusion

Yuncheng You (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

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...

Partial Hölder continuity for quasilinear parabolic systems of higher order with strictly controlled growth

Mario Marino, Antonino Maugeri (1984)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Sfruttando i risultati di [1], si prova che le derivate spaziali D α u di ordine | α | con | α | < m - 1 delle soluzioni in Q di un sistema parabolico quasilineare di ordine 2 m con andamenti strettamente controllati, sono parzialmente hölderiane in Q con esponente di hölderianità decrescente al crescere di | α | .

Periodic parabolic problems with nonlinearities indefinite in sign.

Tomás Godoy, Uriel Kaufmann (2007)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let Ω ⊂ RN be a smooth bounded domain. We give sufficient conditions (which are also necessary in many cases) on two nonnegative functions a, b that are possibly discontinuous and unbounded for the existence of nonnegative solutions for semilinear Dirichlet periodic parabolic problems of the form Lu = λa (x, t) up - b (x, t) uq in Ω × R, where 0 &lt; p, q &lt; 1 and λ &gt; 0. In some cases we also show the existence of solutions uλ in the interior of the positive cone and that uλ can...

Periodic problems and problems with discontinuities for nonlinear parabolic equations

Tiziana Cardinali, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (2000)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we study nonlinear parabolic equations using the method of upper and lower solutions. Using truncation and penalization techniques and results from the theory of operators of monotone type, we prove the existence of a periodic solution between an upper and a lower solution. Then with some monotonicity conditions we prove the existence of extremal solutions in the order interval defined by an upper and a lower solution. Finally we consider problems with discontinuities and we show that...
