Characterization of efficient solutions for a class of PDE-constrained vector control problems (Q2178959)

The KT-pseudoinvexity associated with a multidimensional scalar control problem to the multiobjective case is extended. Related to this, a new class of control problems governed by multiple integrals and \(m\)-flow type PDEs constraints is introduced. Моrе precisely, a multidimensional control problem of minimizing a vector of multiple integral cost functionals subject to nonlinear equality and inequality constraints involving first-order partial derivatives is considered. The author presents the concept of V-KT-pseudoinvexity associated with the considered multidimensional vector PDE-constrained control problem and it is proved that it is necessary and sufficient in order that all Kuhn-Tucker points to be efficient solutions. An application illustrating the theoretical results is given, too.
