We study optimal control problems for partial differential equations (focusing on the multidimensional differential equation) with control functions in the Dirichlet boundary conditions under pointwise control (and we admit state - by assuming weak hypotheses) constraints.
We discuss the solvability of a nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for the semilinear equation of the vibrating string in a bounded domain and with a certain type of superlinear nonlinearity. To this end we derive a new dual variational method.
The existence of positive solutions for a nonlocal boundary-value problem with vector-valued response is investigated. We develop duality and variational principles for this problem. Our variational approach enables us to approximate solutions and give a measure of a duality gap between the primal and dual functional for minimizing sequences.
In this paper we establish the existence of nontrivial solutions to with superlinear in .
