New regularity results and improved error estimates for optimal control problems with state constraints

Eduardo Casas, Mariano Mateos, Boris Vexler (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we are concerned with a distributed optimal control problem governed by an elliptic partial differential equation. State constraints of box type are considered. We show that the Lagrange multiplier associated with the state constraints, which is known to be a measure, is indeed more regular under quite general assumptions. We discretize the problem by continuous piecewise linear finite elements and we are able to prove that, for the case of a linear equation, the order of convergence...

Nonlinear dynamic systems and optimal control problems on time scales

Yunfei Peng, Xiaoling Xiang, Yang Jiang (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is mainly concerned with a class of optimal control problems of systems governed by the nonlinear dynamic systems on time scales. Introducing the reasonable weak solution of nonlinear dynamic systems, the existence of the weak solution for the nonlinear dynamic systems on time scales and its properties are presented. Discussing L1-strong-weak lower semicontinuity of integral functional, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of optimal controls. Using integration by parts formula...

Nonnegativity of functionals corresponding to the second order half-linear differential equation

Robert Mařík (1999)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we study extremal properties of functional associated with the half–linear second order differential equation E p . Necessary and sufficient condition for nonnegativity of this functional is given in two special cases: the first case is when both points are regular and the second is the case, when one end point is singular. The obtained results extend the theory of quadratic functionals.

Nonsmooth Problems of Calculus of Variations via Codifferentiation

Maxim Dolgopolik (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper multidimensional nonsmooth, nonconvex problems of the calculus of variations with codifferentiable integrand are studied. Special classes of codifferentiable functions, that play an important role in the calculus of variations, are introduced and studied. The codifferentiability of the main functional of the calculus of variations is derived. Necessary conditions for the extremum of a codifferentiable function on a closed convex set and its applications to the nonsmooth problems of...
