Optimization techniques for solving elliptic control problems with control and state constraints. I: Boundary control (Q1578500): Difference between revisions

This work studies the numerical solution of optimal control problems for semilinear elliptic equations subject to control and state pointwise inequality constraints. Boundary control problems are considered with either nonlinear Dirichlet or Neumann conditions. By introducing suitable discretization schemes, the control problem is transcribed into a nonlinear programming problem. A recently developed interior point method is used to solve these problems. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated by solving several examples in different situations. The paper does not contain any proof or convergence result.
