The book presents a general theory of optimal control problems for systems described by partial differential equations. The methods proposed by the author cover the cases in which the controlled system corresponds to well-posed or ill-posed boundary value problems that can be linear or nonlinear. The uniqueness problem for the solution of nonlinear optimal control problems is analyzed in various settings. Solutions of several previously unsolved problems are given. In addition, general methods are applied to studying two problems connected with optimal control of fluid flows described by the Navier-Stokes equations. Contents: Chapter 1. Existence of solutions to optimal control problems. Chapter 2. Optimality system for optimal control problems. Chapter 3. Solvability of boundary value problems for a dense set of data. Chapter 4. The problem of work minimization in accelerating still fluid to a prescribed velocity. Chapter 5. Optimal boundary control for nonstationary problems of a fluid flow and nonhomogeneous boundary value problems for the Navier-Stokes equations. Chapter 6. The Cauchy problem for elliptic equations in a conditionally well-posed formulation. Chapter 7. Local exact controllability of a flow of an incompressible viscous fluid.
