Optimal control problems for semilinear elliptic equations with control costs in the space of bounded variations are analysed. BV-based optimal controls favor piecewise constant, and hence 'simple' controls, with few jumps. Existence of…
This paper is concerned with optimal control problems for parabolic partial differential equations with pointwise in time switching constraints on the control. A standard approach to treat constraints in nonlinear optimization is…
This work concentrates on a class of optimal control problems for semilinear parabolic equations subject to control constraint of the form $\|u(t)\|_{L^1(\Omega)} \le \gamma$ for $t \in (0,T)$. This limits the total control that can be…
This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem subject to the $H^1$-critical defocusing semilinear wave equation on a smooth and bounded domain in three spatial dimensions. Due to the criticality of the nonlinearity in the wave…
We consider optimal control of the scalar wave equation where the control enters as a coefficient in the principal part. Adding a total variation penalty allows showing existence of optimal controls, which requires continuity results for…
This work is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by a non-smooth quasilinear elliptic equation with a nonlinear coefficient in the principal part that is locally Lipschitz continuous and directionally but not G\^ateaux…
The purpose of this paper is to review and highlight some connections between the problem of nonlinear smoothing and optimal control of the Liouville equation. The latter has been an active area of recent research interest owing to work in…
We study a PDE-constrained optimal control problem that involves functions of bounded variation as controls and includes the TV seminorm of the control in the objective. We apply a path-following inexact Newton method to the problems that…
This work discusses the finite element discretization of an optimal control problem for the linear wave equation with time-dependent controls of bounded variation. The main focus lies on the convergence analysis of the discretization…
This paper is concerned with an elliptic optimal control problem with total variation (TV) restriction on the control in the constraints. We introduce a regularized optimal control problem by applying a quadratic regularization of the dual…
This work is concerned with a class of optimal control problems governed by a partial differential equation that are motivated by an application in radiotherapy treatment planning, where the primary design objective is to minimize the…
This paper deals with the numerical computation of boundary null controls for the 1D wave equation with a potential. The goal is to compute an approximation of controls that drive the solution from a prescribed initial state to zero at a…
We study the optimal control of a rate-independent system that is driven by a convex, quadratic energy. Since the associated solution mapping is non-smooth, the analysis of such control problems is challenging. In order to derive optimality…
An optimal control problem with a time-parameter is considered. The functional to be optimized includes the maximum over time-horizon reached by a function of the state variable, and so an $L^\infty$-term. In addition to the classical…
We consider optimal control problems for partial differential equations where the controls take binary values but vary over the time horizon, they can thus be seen as dynamic switches. The switching patterns may be subject to combinatorial…
This paper presents a method to approximately solve stochastic optimal control problems in which the cost function and the system dynamics are polynomial. For stochastic systems with polynomial dynamics, the moments of the state can be…
This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by a non-smooth semilinear elliptic equation. We show that the control-to-state mapping is directionally differentiable and precisely characterize its Bouligand…
We consider an optimal control problem for the steady-state Kirchhoff equation, a prototype for nonlocal partial differential equations, different from fractional powers of closed operators. Existence and uniqueness of solutions of the…
We discuss several optimization procedures to solve finite element approximations of linear-quadratic Dirichlet optimal control problems governed by an elliptic partial differential equation posed on a 2D or 3D Lipschitz domain. The control…
A theoretical framework and numerical techniques to solve optimal control problems with a spatial trace term in the terminal cost and governed by regularized nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws are provided. Depending on the spatial…
