Abstract: We investigate a distributed optimal control problem for a phase field model of Cahn-Hilliard type. The model describes two-species phase segregation on an atomic lattice under the presence of diffusion; it has been recently introduced by the same authors in arXiv:1103.4585v1 [math.AP] and consists of a system of two highly nonlinearly coupled PDEs. For this reason, standard arguments of optimal control theory do not apply directly, although the control constraints and the cost functional are of standard type. We show that the problem admits a solution, and we derive the first-order necessary conditions of optimality.

Review text

In this very important and useful paper, the authors study distributed optimal control problems. Here the state system constitutes a phase field model of Cahn-Hilliard type that describes phase segregation of two species (atoms and vacancies) on a lattice in the presence of diffusion. The proposed type of optimal control problems occurs in industrial production processes. The system is singular, with highly nonlinear and nonstandard coupling. First-order necessary conditions of optimality for distributed optimal control problems are derived (they are of utmost importance for the practical solution of optimal control problems). All results are presented in a systematic and self-contained manner, proofs being sufficiently detailed. The authors propose the precise proofs of existence and uniqueness of the solution of a system of two highly nonlinearly coupled PDEs.
