Abstract: We characterize generalized derivatives of the solution operator of the obstacle problem. This precise characterization requires the usage of the theory of so-called capacitary measures and the associated solution operators of relaxed Dirichlet problems. The generalized derivatives can be used to obtain a novel necessary optimality condition for the optimal control of the obstacle problem with control constraints. A comparison shows that this system is stronger than the known system of C-stationarity.


An obstacle problem for the Laplacian is considered, and a related optimal control problem is introduced. The generalised derivatives of the solution mapping of the obstacle problem are characterised as sets of solution operators of suitable relaxed Dirichlet problems. Based on such characterisations, stationarity systems for the above optimal control problem are discussed.
