Abstract

We consider a heat conduction problem SS with mixed boundary conditions in a nn-dimensional domain Ω\Omega with regular boundary and a family of problems SαS_{\alpha} with also mixed boundary conditions in Ω\Omega, where α>0\alpha>0 is the heat transfer coefficient on the portion of the boundary Γ1\Gamma_{1}. In relation to these state systems, we formulate Neumann boundary optimal control problems on the heat flux qq which is definite on the complementary portion Γ2\Gamma_{2} of the boundary of Ω\Omega. We obtain existence and uniqueness of the optimal controls, the first order optimality conditions in terms of the adjoint state and the convergence of the optimal controls, the system state and the adjoint state when the heat transfer coefficient α\alpha goes to infinity. Furthermore, we formulate particular boundary optimal control problems on a real parameter λ\lambda, in relation to the parabolic problems SS and SαS_{\alpha} and to mixed elliptic problems PP and PαP_{\alpha}. We find a explicit form for the optimal controls, we prove monotony properties and we obtain convergence results when the parameter time goes to infinity.
