Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we consider optimal control problems for abstract nonlinear evolution equations associated with time-dependent subdifferentials in a real Hilbert space. We prove the existence of an optimal control that minimizes the nonlinear cost functional. Also, we study approximating control problems of our equations. Then, we show the relationship between the original optimal control problem and the approximating ones. Moreover, we give some applications of our abstract results. ...

S. Farag, M. Farag (2000)

Applicationes Mathematicae

An optimal control problem governed by a quasilinear parabolic equation with additional constraints is investigated. The optimal control problem is converted to an optimization problem which is solved using a penalty function technique. The existence and uniqueness theorems are investigated. The derivation of formulae for the gradient of the modified function is explainedby solving the adjoint problem.

In this work, we consider an inverse backward problem for a nonlinear parabolic equation of the Burgers' type with a memory term from final data. To this aim, we first establish the well-posedness of the direct problem. On the basis of the optimal control framework, the existence and necessary condition of the minimizer for the cost functional are established. The global uniqueness and stability of the minimizer are deduced from the necessary condition. Numerical experiments demonstrate...

Optimal control of nonlinear evolution equations

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

In this paper, first we consider parametric control systems driven by nonlinear evolution equations defined on an evolution triple of spaces. The parametres are time-varying probability measures (Young measures) defined on a compact metric space. The appropriate optimization problem is a minimax control problem, in which the system analyst minimizes the maximum cost (risk). Under general hypotheses on the data we establish the existence of optimal controls. Then we...

A nonlinear plate control without linearization

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, an optimal vibration control problem for a nonlinear plate is considered. In order to obtain the optimal control function, wellposedness and controllability of the nonlinear system is investigated. The performance index functional of the system, to be minimized by minimum level of control, is chosen as the sum of the quadratic 10 functional of the displacement. The velocity of the plate and quadratic functional of the control function is added to the performance index...

Optimality conditions for semilinear parabolic equations with controls in leading term

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.

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...
