Control of transonic shock positions
We wish to show how the shock position in a nozzle could be controlled. Optimal control theory and algorithm is applied to the transonic equation. The difficulty is that the derivative with respect to the shock position involves a Dirac mass. The one dimensional case is solved, the two dimensional one is analyzed .

Control problems for convection-diffusion equations with control localized on manifolds
We consider optimal control problems for convection-diffusion equations with a pointwise control or a control localized on a smooth manifold. We prove optimality conditions for the control variable and for the position of the control. We do not suppose that the coefficient of the convection term is regular or bounded, we only suppose that it has the regularity of strong solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations. We consider functionals with an observation on the gradient of the state. To obtain optimality...

Convergence analysis of smoothing methods for optimal control of stationary variational inequalities with control constraints
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...
Convergence of minimax structures and continuation of critical points for singularly perturbed systems
In the recent literature, the phenomenon of phase separation for binary mixtures of Bose–Einstein condensates can be understood, from a mathematical point of view, as governed by the asymptotic limit of the stationary Gross–Pitaevskii system , as the interspecies scattering length goes to . For this system we consider the associated energy functionals , with -mass constraints, which limit (as ) is strongly irregular. For such functionals, we construct multiple critical points via a common...
Convergence of optimal solutions in control problems for hyperbolic equations
A sequence of optimal control problems for systems governed by linear hyperbolic equations with the nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary conditions is considered. The integral cost functionals and the differential operators in the equations depend on the parameter k. We deal with the limit behaviour, as k → ∞, of the sequence of optimal solutions using the notions of G- and Γ-convergences. The conditions under which this sequence converges to an optimal solution for the limit problem are given.
Convergence of primal-dual solutions for the nonconvex log-barrier method without LICQ
This paper characterizes completely the behavior of the logarithmic barrier method under a standard second order condition, strict (multivalued) complementarity and MFCQ at a local minimizer. We present direct proofs, based on certain key estimates and few well–known facts on linear and parametric programming, in order to verify existence and Lipschitzian convergence of local primal-dual solutions without applying additionally technical tools arising from Newton–techniques.
Convergence of the Lagrange-Newton method for optimal control problems
Convergence results for two Lagrange-Newton-type methods of solving optimal control problems are presented. It is shown how the methods can be applied to a class of optimal control problems for nonlinear ODEs, subject to mixed control-state constraints. The first method reduces to an SQP algorithm. It does not require any information on the structure of the optimal solution. The other one is the shooting method, where information on the structure of the optimal solution is exploited. In each case,...

Curvature functionals for curves in the equi-affine plane
After having given the general variational formula for the functionals indicated in the title, the critical points of the integral of the equi-affine curvature under area constraint and the critical points of the full-affine arc-length are studied in greater detail. Notice. An extended version of this article is available on arXiv:0912.4075.
