Regularity and stability of optimal controls of nonstationary Navier-Stokes equations
The regularity of the positive part of functions in with applications to parabolic equations
Let with be given. Then we show by means of a counter-example that the positive part of has less regularity, in particular it holds in general. Nevertheless, satisfies an integration-by-parts formula, which can be used to prove non-negativity of weak solutions of parabolic equations.
Convergence analysis of smoothing methods for optimal control of stationary variational inequalities with control constraints
In the article an optimal control problem subject to a stationary variational inequality is investigated. The optimal control problem is complemented with pointwise control constraints. The convergence of a smoothing scheme is analyzed. There, the variational inequality is replaced by a semilinear elliptic equation. It is shown that solutions of the regularized optimal control problem converge to solutions of the original one. Passing to the limit in the optimality system of the regularized problem...
Sufficient optimality conditions and semi-smooth newton methods for optimal control of stationary variational inequalities
In this paper sufficient second order optimality conditions for optimal control problems subject to stationary variational inequalities of obstacle type are derived. Since optimality conditions for such problems always involve measures as Lagrange multipliers, which impede the use of efficient Newton type methods, a family of regularized problems is introduced. Second order sufficient optimality conditions are derived for the regularized problems...
On time optimal control of the wave equation, its regularization and optimality system
An approximation procedure for time optimal control problems for the linear wave equation is analyzed. Its asymptotic behavior is investigated and an optimality system including the maximum principle and the transversality conditions for the regularized and unregularized problems are derived.
Second-order sufficient optimality conditions for the optimal control of Navier-Stokes equations
In this paper sufficient optimality conditions are established for optimal control of both steady-state and instationary Navier-Stokes equations. The second-order condition requires coercivity of the Lagrange function on a suitable subspace together with first-order necessary conditions. It ensures local optimality of a reference function in a -neighborhood, whereby the underlying analysis allows to use weaker norms than .
Convergence and regularization results for optimal control problems with sparsity functional
Optimization problems with convex but non-smooth cost functional subject to an elliptic partial differential equation are considered. The non-smoothness arises from a -norm in the objective functional. The problem is regularized to permit the use of the semi-smooth Newton method. Error estimates with respect to the regularization parameter are provided. Moreover, finite element approximations are studied. as well as error estimates are developed and confirmed by numerical experiments....
