Error estimates for the approximation of multibang control problems

Optimization and Control 2019-01-14 v2 Numerical Analysis

Abstract

This work is concerned with optimal control problems where the objective functional consists of a tracking-type functional and an additional "multibang" regularization functional that promotes optimal control taking values from a given discrete set pointwise almost everywhere. Under a regularity condition on the set where these discrete values are attained, error estimates for the Moreau--Yosida approximation (which allows its solution by a semismooth Newton method) and the discretization of the problem are derived. Numerical results support the theoretical findings.
