Existence of optimal and \(\varepsilon\)-optimal controls for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation (Q697521)

Under the assumptions to assure sequential compactness for the set of admissible controls and weak sequential lower semicontinuity for the cost functional, the author shows the existence of optimal and \(\varepsilon\)-optimal controls for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with strong solutions [see \textit{H. Breckner (Lisei)}, ``Galerkin approximation and the strong solution of the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation'', J. Appl. Math. Stochastic Anal. 13, No. 3, 239--259 (2000; Zbl 0974.60045)] controlled by continuous feedback controls defined as different external forces. The main idea in solving the control problem is to use an auxiliary equation of special type and the assertion that weak convergence of feedback controls implies strong convergence of the corresponding solutions.
