The well-posedness of a class of optimal control problems is analysed, where the state equation couples a nonlinear degenerate Fokker-Planck equation with a system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). Such problems naturally arise as…

We derive a priori bounds for positive supersolutions of $ - \Delta_{p} u = \rho(x) f(u) $, where $p>1$ and $\Delta_{p}$ is the $p$-Laplace operator, in a smooth bounded domain of $R^{N}$ with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We apply…

We consider the finite element discretization of an optimal Dirichlet boundary control problem for the Laplacian, where the control is considered in $H^{1/2}(\Gamma)$. To avoid computing the latter norm numerically, we realize it using the…

In this paper we establish the exact growth of the solution of the singular quasilinear p-parabolic obstacle problem near the free boundary from which we deduce its porosity.
