Quadratic cost minimax optimal control problems for a semilinear viscoelastic equation with long memory (Q2038571): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper, we study the quadratic cost minimax optimal control problems for a semilinear viscoelastic equation with long memory. A global well-posedness theorem regarding the solutions to its Cauchy problem is given. We formulate the minimax control problem with bilinear control inputs and corresponding disturbances. Under some assumptions, we prove the existence of optimal pairs and give necessary optimality conditions for optimal pairs in some observation cases.
