Convergence of optimal solutions in control problems for hyperbolic equations

S. Migórski (1995)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

A sequence of optimal control problems for systems governed by linear hyperbolic equations with the nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions is considered. The integral cost functionals and the differential operators in the equations depend on the parameter k. We deal with the limit behaviour, as k → ∞, of the sequence of optimal solutions using the notions of G- and Γ-convergences. The conditions under which this sequence converges to an optimal solution for the limit problem are...

An optimal control problem for a fourth-order variational inequality

A. Khludnev (1992)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

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...

Superconvergence analysis and a posteriori error estimation of a Finite Element Method for an optimal control problem governed by integral equations

Ningning Yan (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, we discuss the numerical simulation for a class of constrained optimal control problems governed by integral equations. The Galerkin method is used for the approximation of the problem. A priori error estimates and a superconvergence analysis for the approximation scheme are presented. Based on the results of the superconvergence analysis, a recovery type a posteriori error estimator is provided, which can be used for adaptive mesh refinement.
