نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. An optimal control problem for a parabolic obstacle variational inequality is considered. The obstacle in L 0; T ;H( ) \H 0 ( ) with t 2 L (Q) is taken as the control, and the solution to the obstacle problem taken as the state. The goal is to nd the optimal control so that the state is close to the desired pro le while the norm of the obstacle is not too large. Existence and necessary conditions for the optimal control are established.

On Existence, Uniqueness, and Convergence of Optimal Control Problems Governed by Parabolic Variational Inequalities
I) We consider a system governed by a free boundary problem with Tresca condition on a part of the boundary of a material domain with a source term g through a parabolic variational inequality of the second kind. We prove the existence and uniqueness results to a family of distributed optimal control problems over g for each parameter h > 0, associated to the Newton law (Robin boundary conditio...
متن کاملVARIATIONAL DISCRETIZATION AND MIXED METHODS FOR SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH INTEGRAL CONSTRAINT
The aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint. The state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is not discreted. Optimal error estimates in L2 are established for the state...
متن کاملDistributed Optimal Control of the Cahn-Hilliard System Including the Case of a Double-Obstacle Homogeneous Free Energy Density
In this paper we study the distributed optimal control for the Cahn–Hilliard system. A general class of free energy potentials is allowed which, in particular, includes the double-obstacle potential. The latter potential yields an optimal control problem of a parabolic variational inequality which is of fourth order in space. We show the existence of optimal controls to approximating problems w...
متن کاملAn Obstacle Control Problem with a Source Term
An optimal control problem for an elliptic variational inequality with a source term is considered. The obstacle is the control, and the goal is to keep the solution of the variational inequality close to the desired pro le while the H norm of the obstacle is not too large. The addition of the source term strongly a ects the needed compactness result for the existence of a minimizer.
متن کاملOptimal Control of a Variational Inequality with Possibly Nonsymmetric Linear Operator. Application to the Obstacle Problems in Mathematical Physics
Abstract. This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem for variational inequalities, where the linear not necessary symmetric operators as well as the convex sets of possible states depend on the control parameter. Existence of an optimal control problem is proven on the abstract level. An abstract framework for the theoretical study of obstacle problems in mathematical physics in th...
