Optimal control for distributed systems subject to null-controllability. Application to discriminating sentinels
We consider a distributed system in which the state q is governed by a parabolic equation and a pair of controls v = (h,k) where h and k play two different roles: the control k is of controllability type while h expresses that the state q does not move too far from a given state. Therefore, it is natural to introduce the control point of view. In fact, there are several ways to state and solve optimal control problems with a pair of controls h and k, in particular the Least Squares method...

Optimal control of an ill-posed elliptic semilinear equation with an exponential non linearity
We study here an optimal control problem for a semilinear elliptic equation with an exponential nonlinearity, such that we cannot expect to have a solution of the state equation for any given control. We then have to speak of pairs (control, state). After having defined a suitable functional class in which we look for solutions, we prove existence of an optimal pair for a large class of cost functions using a non standard compactness argument. Then, we derive a first order optimality system assuming...
Optimal control of fluid flow in soil 1. Deterministic case.
We study the numerical aspect of the optimal control of problems governed by a linear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE). We consider here the gas flow in porous media. The observed variable is the flow field we want to maximize in a given part of the domain or its boundary. The control variable is the pressure at one part of the boundary or the discharges of some wells located in the interior of the domain. The objective functional is a balance between the norm of the flux in the observation...
Optimal control of linear bottleneck problems
Optimal control of linear bottleneck problems
The regularity of Lagrange multipliers for state-constrained optimal control problems belongs to the basic questions of control theory. Here, we investigate bottleneck problems arising from optimal control problems for PDEs with certain mixed control-state inequality constraints. We show how to obtain Lagrange multipliers in Lp spaces for linear problems and give an application to linear parabolic optimal control problems.
Optimal control of linearized compressible Navier–Stokes equations
We study an optimal boundary control problem for the two dimensional unsteady linearized compressible Navier–Stokes equations in a rectangle. The control acts through the Dirichlet boundary condition. We first establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the two-dimensional unsteady linearized compressible Navier–Stokes equations in a rectangle with inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data, not necessarily smooth. Then, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution over...
Optimal control of nonlinear one-dimensional periodic wave equation with x-dependent coefficients
This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by the nonlinear one dimensional periodic wave equation with x-dependent coefficients. The control of the system is realized via the outer function of the state. Such a model arises from the propagation of seismic waves in a nonisotropic medium. By investigating some important properties of the linear operator associated with the state equation, we obtain the existence and regularity of the weak solution to the state equation. Furthermore,...
