Error estimates for finite element approximations of elliptic control problems
We investigate finite element approximations of one-dimensional elliptic control problems. For semidiscretizations and full discretizations with piecewise constant controls we derive error estimates in the maximum norm.
Error estimates for the numerical approximation of semilinear elliptic control problems with finitely many state constraints
The goal of this paper is to derive some error estimates for the numerical discretization of some optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations with bound constraints on the control and a finitely number of equality and inequality state constraints. We prove some error estimates for the optimal controls in the norm and we also obtain error estimates for the Lagrange multipliers associated to the state constraints as well as for the optimal states and optimal adjoint states....
Error Estimates for the Numerical Approximation of Semilinear Elliptic Control Problems with Finitely Many State Constraints
The goal of this paper is to derive some error estimates for the numerical discretization of some optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations with bound constraints on the control and a finitely number of equality and inequality state constraints. We prove some error estimates for the optimal controls in the L∞ norm and we also obtain error estimates for the Lagrange multipliers associated to the state constraints as well as for the optimal states and optimal adjoint states. ...

Fractional Roesser problem and its optimization
In the paper, a fractional continuous Roesser model is considered. Existence and uniqueness of a solution and continuous dependence of solutions on controls of the nonlinear model are investigated. Next, a theorem on the existence of an optimal solution for linear model with variable coefficients is proved.

Globalization of SQP-methods in control of the instationary Navier-Stokes equations
A numerically inexpensive globalization strategy of sequential quadratic programming methods (SQP-methods) for control of the instationary Navier Stokes equations is investigated. Based on the proper functional analytic setting a convergence analysis for the globalized method is given. It is argued that the a priori formidable SQP-step can be decomposed into linear primal and linear adjoint systems, which is amenable for existing CFL-software. A report on a numerical test demonstrates the feasibility...

Gradient flows in Wasserstein spaces and applications to crowd movement
Starting from a motivation in the modeling of crowd movement, the paper presents the topics of gradient flows, first in , then in metric spaces, and finally in the space of probability measures endowed with the Wasserstein distance (induced by the quadratic transport cost). Differently from the usual theory by Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto and Ambrosio-Gigli-Savaré, we propose an approach where the optimality conditions for the minimizers of the optimization problems that one solves at every time step...

Hamilton-Jacobi equations for control problems of parabolic equations
We study Hamilton-Jacobi equations related to the boundary (or internal) control of semilinear parabolic equations, including the case of a control acting in a nonlinear boundary condition, or the case of a nonlinearity of Burgers' type in 2D. To deal with a control acting in a boundary condition a fractional power – where (A,D(A)) is an unbounded operator in a Hilbert space X – is contained in the Hamiltonian functional appearing in the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This situation has already...
