Tikhonov regularization of control-constrained optimal control problems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider Tikhonov regularization of control-constrained optimal control problems. We present new a-priori estimates for the regularization error assuming measure and source-measure conditions. In the special case of bang-bang solutions, we introduce another assumption to obtain the same convergence rates. This new condition turns out to be useful in the derivation of error estimates for the discretized problem. The necessity of the just mentioned assumptions to obtain certain convergence rates is analyzed. Finally, a numerical example confirms the analytical findings.


New a-priori estimates for the regularization error (assuming measure and source-measure conditions) for the Tikhonov regularization of control-constrained optimal control problems are provided. A new assumption, called here the \(\bar p_\alpha\)-measure condition is introduced in order to obtain the same convergence rates as the source-measure condition in the case of bang-bang solutions and it is noticed that it turns out to be useful in the derivation of error estimates for the discretized problem. The theoretical results are then confirmed by a numerical example of a heat equation with located controls.
