Pontryagin maximum principle of optimal control governed by fluid dynamic systems with two point boundary state constraint (Q698855): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with an abstract model for controlled fluid flow. The system is \[ y'(t) + \gamma Ay(t) + B(y(t)) = Du(t) + f(t) \] and the solution \(y(t)\) lives in a Hilbert space \(H,\) while the control \(u(t)\) takes values in a subset \(U\) of a second Hilbert space \(F.\) The assumptions on the linear operator \(A\) and the nonlinear operator \(B\) are designed to accommodate the Navier-Stokes equations. The functional undergoing minimization is \[ L(y, u) = \int_0^T \ell(t, y(t), u(t)) dt \] and the state constraint is of the form \((y(0), y(T)) \in S.\) The author proves a version of Pontryagin's maximum principle for this problem.
