This paper considers the formulation of the adjoint problem in two dimensions when there are shocks in the flow solution. For typical cost functions, the adjoint variables are continuous at shocks, where they have to obey an internal…
Adjoints are used in optimization to speed-up computations, simplify optimality conditions or compute sensitivities. Because time is reversed in adjoint equations with first order time derivatives, boundary conditions and transmission…
We investigate errors in tangents and adjoints of implicit functions resulting from errors in the primal solution due to approximations computed by a numerical solver. Adjoints of systems of linear equations turn out to be unconditionally…
Our main interest in this paper is the study of homogenised limit of a parabolic equation with a nonlinear dynamic boundary condition of the micro-scale model set on a domain with periodically place particles. We focus on the case of…
For 1-D parabolic PDEs with disturbances at both boundaries and distributed disturbances we provide ISS estimates in various norms. Due to the lack of an ISS Lyapunov functional for boundary disturbances, the proof methodology uses (i) an…
This study demonstrates how the adjoint-based framework traditionally used to compute gradients in PDE optimization problems can be extended to handle general constraints on the state variables. This is accomplished by constructing a…
The modeling of cracks has been an intensely researched topic for decades - both from the mechanical as well as from the mathematics point of view. As far as the modeling of sharp cracks/interfaces is concerned, the resulting free boundary…

We present an adjoint-based optimization method to invert for stress and frictional parameters used in earthquake modeling. The forward problem is linear elastodynamics with nonlinear rate-and-state frictional faults. The misfit functional…
We prove a stochastic maximum principle for a control problem where the state equation is delayed both in the state and in the control, and also the final cost functional may depend on the past trajectories. The adjoint equations turn out…
This note aims at providing a rather informal and hopefully accessible overview of the fairly long and technical work [4]. In that paper, the authors established new global-in-time existence results for admissible solutions of nonlinear…
