Inverse coefficient problems for variational inequalities : optimality conditions and numerical realization

Michael Hintermüller — 2001

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider the identification of a distributed parameter in an elliptic variational inequality. On the basis of an optimal control problem formulation, the application of a primal-dual penalization technique enables us to prove the existence of multipliers giving a first order characterization of the optimal solution. Concerning the parameter we consider different regularity requirements. For the numerical realization we utilize a complementarity function, which allows us to rewrite the optimality...

Globalization of SQP-methods in control of the instationary Navier-Stokes equations

Michael HintermüllerMichael Hinze — 2002

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

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...

A sensitivity-based extrapolation technique for the numerical solution of state-constrained optimal control problems

Michael HintermüllerIrwin Yousept — 2010

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Sensitivity analysis (with respect to the regularization parameter) of the solution of a class of regularized state constrained optimal control problems is performed. The theoretical results are then used to establish an extrapolation-based numerical scheme for solving the regularized problem for vanishing regularization parameter. In this context, the extrapolation technique provides excellent initializations along the sequence of reducing regularization parameters. Finally, the favorable numerical behavior...

Mesh-independence and preconditioning for solving parabolic control problems with mixed control-state constraints

Michael HintermüllerIan KopackaStefan Volkwein — 2009

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Optimal control problems for the heat equation with pointwise bilateral control-state constraints are considered. A locally superlinearly convergent numerical solution algorithm is proposed and its mesh independence is established. Further, for the efficient numerical solution reduced space and Schur complement based preconditioners are proposed which take into account the active and inactive set structure of the problem. The paper ends by numerical tests illustrating our theoretical findings and...

An a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element methods for distributed elliptic control problems with control constraints

Michael KiewegYuri IliashRonald H. W. HoppeMichael Hintermüller — 2008

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present an a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element approximations of distributed control problems for second order elliptic boundary value problems under bound constraints on the control. The error analysis is based on a residual-type a posteriori error estimator that consists of edge and element residuals. Since we do not assume any regularity of the data of the problem, the error analysis further invokes data oscillations. We prove reliability and efficiency of the error estimator...
