Contrôle optimal dans des systèmes gouvernés par des inéquations variationnelles
Dans ce papier, nous étudions un problème de contrôle par les coefficients issu de la lubrification élastohydrodynamique. La variable de contrôle est l’épaisseur du fluide. Le phénomène de cavitation est pris en compte par le modèle Elrod-Adams, connu pour ses performances dans la conservation des débits d’entrée et de sortie. L’idée est de régulariser dans l’équation d’état le graphe d’Heaviside, en l’approchant par une suite de fonctions monotones et régulières. Nous dérivons les conditions d’optimalité...
The purpose of this paper is to study a control by coefficients problem issued from the elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The control variable is the film thickness.The cavitation phenomenon takes place and described by the Elrod-Adams model, suggested in preference to the classical variational inequality due to its ability to describe input and output flow. The idea is to use the penalization in the state equation by approximating the Heaviside graph whith a sequence of monotone and regular functions....
We consider linear 2-D systems of Fornasini-Marchesini type in the continuous-time case with non-constant coefficients. Using an explicit representation of the solutions by utilizing the Riemann-kernel of the equation under consideration, we obtain controllability and observability criteria in the case of the inhomogeneous equation, where control is obtained by choosing the inhomogeneity appropriately, but also for the homogeneous equation, where control is obtained by steering with Goursat data....
We consider a structural acoustic problem with the flexible wall modeled by a thermoelastic plate, subject to Dirichlet boundary control in the thermal component. We establish sharp regularity results for the traces of the thermal variable on the boundary in case the system is supplemented with clamped mechanical boundary conditions. These regularity estimates are most crucial for validity of the optimal control theory developed by Acquistapace et al. [Adv. Differential Equations, 2005], which ensures...
In this paper, we propose a new class of adaptive trust region methods for unconstrained optimization problems and develop some convergence properties. In the new algorithms, we use the current iterative information to define a suitable initial trust region radius at each iteration. The initial trust region radius is more reasonable in the sense that the trust region model and the objective function are more consistent at the current iterate. The global convergence, super-linear and quadratic convergence...
In the article an optimal control problem subject to a stationary variational inequality is investigated. The optimal control problem is complemented with pointwise control constraints. The convergence of a smoothing scheme is analyzed. There, the variational inequality is replaced by a semilinear elliptic equation. It is shown that solutions of the regularized optimal control problem converge to solutions of the original one. Passing to the limit in the optimality system of the regularized problem...
Optimization problems with convex but non-smooth cost functional subject to an elliptic partial differential equation are considered. The non-smoothness arises from a L1-norm in the objective functional. The problem is regularized to permit the use of the semi-smooth Newton method. Error estimates with respect to the regularization parameter are provided. Moreover, finite element approximations are studied. A-priori as well as a-posteriori error estimates are developed and confirmed by numerical...

We provide new sufficient convergence conditions for the convergence of the secant-type methods to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space. Our new idea uses recurrent functions, and Lipschitz-type and center-Lipschitz-type instead of just Lipschitz-type conditions on the divided difference of the operator involved. It turns out that this way our error bounds are more precise than earlier ones and under our convergence hypotheses we can cover cases where earlier conditions...
