On necessary optimality conditions for optimal control problems

From MaRDI portal





[For the entire collection see Zbl 0754.00014.] Optimal control problems, where optimality is understood as optimality of a given cost functional, can be regarded as constrained optimization problems, where the equality constraint is given by the state equation of the control problem. A general Kuhn-Tucker Theorem of infinite-dimensional nonlinear optimization is proved and used in order to derive necessary optimality conditions for a class of nonlinear control problems. The dynamics of these control problems are given by a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation (i.e. a nonlinear diffusion problem) and the control acts on the right hand side. The cost functions under consideration are general, possibly nonsmooth functions of the state and the control. The optimality conditions are given in terms of a coupled system of a nonlinear parabolic equation and a linear parabolic variational inequality (if constraints on the control are present).
