Numerical analysis of some optimal control problems governed by a class of quasilinear elliptic equations

Eduardo Casas, Fredi Tröltzsch (2011)

Similarity:

In this paper, we carry out the numerical analysis of a distributed optimal control problem governed by a quasilinear elliptic equation of non-monotone type. The goal is to prove the strong convergence of the discretization of the problem by finite elements. The main issue is to get error estimates for the discretization of the state equation. One of the difficulties in this analysis is that, in spite of the partial differential equation has a unique solution for any given control, the...

Analysis of a time optimal control problem related to the management of a bioreactor

Similarity:

We consider a time optimal control problem arisen from the optimal management of a bioreactor devoted to the treatment of eutrophicated water. We formulate this realistic problem as a state-control constrained time optimal control problem. After analyzing the state system (a complex system of coupled partial differential equations with non-smooth coefficients for advection-diffusion-reaction with Michaelis-Menten kinetics, modelling the eutrophication processes) we demonstrate the existence...

On the optimal control of coefficients in elliptic problems. Application to the optimization of the head slider

Ionel Ciuperca, Mohamed El Alaoui Talibi, Mohammed Jai (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider an optimal control problem for a class of non-linear elliptic equations. A result of existence and uniqueness of the state equation is proven under weaker hypotheses than in the literature. We also prove the existence of an optimal control. Applications to some lubrication problems and numerical results are given.

Error estimates for the finite element discretization of semi-infinite elliptic optimal control problems

Pedro Merino, Ira Neitzel, Fredi Tröltzsch (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

In this paper we derive a priori error estimates for linear-quadratic elliptic optimal control problems with finite dimensional control space and state constraints in the whole domain, which can be written as semi-infinite optimization problems. Numerical experiments are conducted to ilustrate our theory.

Error estimates for finite element approximations of elliptic control problems

Walter Alt, Nils Bräutigam, Arnd Rösch (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

We investigate finite element approximations of one-dimensional elliptic control problems. For semidiscretizations and full discretizations with piecewise constant controls we derive error estimates in the maximum norm.
