Review text

The paper deals with the optimal control problem P: \[ I(\overline u)\to \min,\;\operatorname {div}A(x)(\nabla\overline u +g) = \operatorname {div} f\;\text{in} \Omega, \quad \overline u=(u_1,\dots,u_m)\in H^1_0(\Omega;\mathbf R^m),\;A\in \mathbf A, \] where \(\Omega \subset \mathbf R^n\) is a bounded Lipschitz domain and \[ \mathbf A=\{A\in L^2(\Omega;\mathbf R^{nm \times nm})\mid A(x)\in M \text{ a.e.} x\in \Omega\}, \] where \(M\) is a given set of symmetric \(nm\times nm\) matrices. The above problem does not have, as a rule an optimal solution. In order to obtain a solution, various possibilities of extensions of the set \(\mathbf A\), different from the \(G\)-closure are studied. One of them is to construct the set \(W\mathbf A\) containing the set \(G\mathbf A\) and such that the weak closure \[ \operatorname {wcl}Z(\mathbf A,g,f)=Z(W\mathbf A,g,f), \] where \[ Z(\mathbf A,g,f)=\{\overline u\in H^1_0(\Omega;\mathbf R^m)|\;\operatorname {div} A(x)(\nabla \overline u+g)=\operatorname {div} f\;\text{in} \Omega,\;A\in \mathbf A\}. \] For the entire collection see [Zbl 0923.00019].
