An Optimal Control Problem for the Navier--Stokes Equations with Point Sources

Optimization and Control 2022-08-19 v2

Abstract

We analyze, in two dimensions, an optimal control problem for the Navier--Stokes equations where the control variable corresponds to the amplitude of forces modeled as point sources; control constraints are also considered. This particular setting leads to solutions to the state equation exhibiting reduced regularity properties. We operate under the framework of Muckenhoupt weights, Muckenhoupt-weighted Sobolev spaces, and the corresponding weighted norm inequalities and derive the existence of optimal solutions and first and, necessary and sufficient, second order optimality conditions.
