Opposing flows in a one dimensional convection-diffusion problem
In this paper, we examine a particular class of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems with a discontinuous coefficient of the convective term. The presence of a discontinuous convective coefficient generates a solution which mimics flow moving in opposing directions either side of some flow source. A particular transmission condition is imposed to ensure that the differential operator is stable. A piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh is combined with a monotone finite difference operator...
Optimal boundary control for a time dependent thermistor problem.
Optimal control for distributed systems subject to null-controllability. Application to discriminating sentinels
We consider a distributed system in which the state q is governed by a parabolic equation and a pair of controls v = (h,k) where h and k play two different roles: the control k is of controllability type while h expresses that the state q does not move too far from a given state. Therefore, it is natural to introduce the control point of view. In fact, there are several ways to state and solve optimal control problems with a pair of controls h and k, in particular the Least Squares method...
Optimal control of a stochastic heat equation with boundary-noise and boundary-control
We are concerned with the optimal control of a nonlinear stochastic heat equation on a bounded real interval with Neumann boundary conditions. The specificity here is that both the control and the noise act on the boundary. We start by reformulating the state equation as an infinite dimensional stochastic evolution equation. The first main result of the paper is the proof of existence and uniqueness of a mild solution for the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. The C1 regularity...
Optimal convergence and a posteriori error analysis of the original DG method for advection-reaction equations
We consider the original DG method for solving the advection-reaction equations with arbitrary velocity in space dimensions. For triangulations satisfying the flow condition, we first prove that the optimal convergence rate is of order in the -norm if the method uses polynomials of order . Then, a very simple derivative recovery formula is given to produce an approximation to the derivative in the flow direction which superconverges with order . Further we consider a residual-based a posteriori...
