Un principe de Pontryagine pour le contrôle des systèmes semilinéaires elliptiques. (A Pontryagin principle for control of semilinear elliptic systems) (Q1176494)

A control problem for semilinear equation of elliptic type with an integral criterion is considered. The operator of the system is supposed to be monotone with respect to the state. This operator and criterion are both continuously differentiable with respect to the state, but may be discontinuous in control variable. The variation of the criterion and Poltryagin type optimality conditions are derived. Some results concerning approximate solutions using Ekeland's principle are also obtained.
