An optimal control problem is considered where the state of the system is described by a variational inequality for the operator w → εΔ²w - φ(‖∇w‖²)Δw. A set of nonnegative functions φ is used as a control region. The problem is shown to have a solution for every fixed ε > 0. Moreover, the solvability of the limit optimal control problem corresponding to ε = 0 is proved. A compactness property of the solutions of the optimal control problems for ε > 0 and their relation with the limit problem are established. This type of operator arises in the theory of nonlinear plates, and the choice of a most suitable function φ is of interest for applications [2]. The problem of control of the function w has been studied in [4] for the operator under consideration, and some statements of this work will be used. Nonstationary problems with analogous operators were analyzed in [6,7]. Some general results on control of second-order variational inequalities can be found in [1]. The first section of this paper deals with the control problem for our fourth-order operator, the second considers a second-order operator, and the third studies the relationship between the solutions of the two problems.
