Optimal control in matrix-valued coefficients for nonlinear monotone problems: optimality conditions II (Q2344904): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper, we study an optimal control problem for a nonlinear monotone Dirichlet problem, where the controls are taken as the matrix-valued coefficients in \(L^{\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb R^{N \times N})\). Given a suitable cost function, the objective is to provide a substantiation of the first order optimality conditions using the concept of convergence in variable spaces. While in the first part [\textit{P. I. Kogut} et al., Z. Anal. Anwend. 34, No. 1, 85--108 (2015; Zbl 1307.49005)] optimality conditions have been derived and analyzed in the general case under some assumptions on the quasi-adjoint states, in this second part, we consider diagonal matrices and analyze the corresponding optimality system without such assumptions.
