Optimal bilinear control of nonlinear Schrödinger equations with singular potentials (Q2453597): Difference between revisions

To investigate the optimal bilinear control problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation one uses the same cost functional as in the paper of \textit{M. Hintermüller} et al. [SIAM J. Control Optim. 51, No. 3, 2509--2543 (2013; Zbl 1277.49005)]. This objective functional is quadratic in the derivatives of energy and control. Under some special assumptions on the parameters and the potential in the equation, the existence of a minimizer is proved. Thanks to the global well-posedness of the Schrödinger equation for any given initial data in \(H^1\), the unconstrained cost functional is defined. This functional is Gâteaux differentiable and one obtains the first order optimality system. Comments and comparisons to results in the above mentioned article are done.
