Optimality conditions for semilinear parabolic equations with controls in leading term

Hongwei Lou (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

An optimal control problem for semilinear parabolic partial differential equations is considered. The control variable appears in the leading term of the equation. Necessary conditions for optimal controls are established by the method of homogenizing spike variation. Results for problems with state constraints are also stated.

On regularization methods for the numerical solution of parabolic control problems with pointwise state constraints

Ira Neitzel, Fredi Tröltzsch (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we study Lavrentiev-type regularization concepts for linear-quadratic parabolic control problems with pointwise state constraints. In the first part, we apply classical Lavrentiev regularization to a problem with distributed control, whereas in the second part, a Lavrentiev-type regularization method based on the adjoint operator is applied to boundary control problems with state constraints in the whole domain. The analysis for both classes of control problems is investigated...

A posteriori error estimation for semilinear parabolic optimal control problems with application to model reduction by POD

Eileen Kammann, Fredi Tröltzsch, Stefan Volkwein (2013)

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

Similarity:

We consider the following problem of error estimation for the optimal control of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations: let an arbitrary admissible control function be given. How far is it from the next locally optimal control? Under natural assumptions including a second-order sufficient optimality condition for the (unknown) locally optimal control, we estimate the distance between the two controls. To do this, we need some information on the lowest eigenvalue of the reduced...

Optimal control of linear bottleneck problems

M. Bergounioux, F. Troeltzsch (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The regularity of Lagrange multipliers for state-constrained optimal control problems belongs to the basic questions of control theory. Here, we investigate bottleneck problems arising from optimal control problems for PDEs with certain mixed control-state inequality constraints. We show how to obtain Lagrange multipliers in L spaces for linear problems and give an application to linear parabolic optimal control problems.
