Review text

The paper considers an optimal control problem for the variational inequality with respect to \(y\in K(\varphi(u))\) \[ \int_\Omega[\langle A(x)\nabla y,\nabla z-\nabla y\rangle- f(x,y,u)(z- y)] dx\geq 0\;\forall z\in K(\varphi(u)), \] where \(K(\varphi)= \{z\in H^1_0(\Omega)\mid z\geq \varphi\) a.e. in \(\Omega\}\) and \(\varphi(u)\) is defined as a solution of the equation \(\text{div }A(x)\nabla\varphi+ g(x,\varphi,u)= 0\) in \(\Omega\), \(\varphi\in H^1_0(\Omega)\). Here \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) is a bounded domain with a \(C^{1,1}\) boundary and \(u\) is the control. In the first part of the paper, the author investigates the case of abstract controls \(u\) defined on \(\Omega\) with values from a separable complete metric space and shows the existence of an optimal control provided that the partial derivatives \(f_y'\) and \(g_\varphi'\) are bounded and nonpositive and that the Cesari property holds for a mapping constructed by means of \(f\), \(g\) and the integrand of the cost functional. After that necessary optimality conditions in the form of Pontryagin's maximum principle are derived. The proofs essentially use the penalization method. In the second part of the paper the special case with \(g(x,\varphi,u)= u\) and \(f= f(x,y)\) is considered for \(u\in L^2(\Omega)\).
