This article deals with the Lipschitz regularity of the ''approximate`` minimizers for the Bolza type control functional of the form \[J_t(y,u):=\int_t^T\Lambda(s,y(s), u(s))\,ds+g(y(T))\] among the pairs $(y,u)$ satisfying a prescribed…

We consider a nonlinear system, affine with respect to an unbounded control $u$ which is allowed to range in a closed cone. To this system we associate a Bolza type minimum problem, with a Lagrangian having sublinear growth with respect to…

Let $N>2$, $p\in \left(\frac{2N}{N+2},+\infty\right)$, and $\Omega$ be an open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$. We consider the minimum problem $$ \mathcal{J} (u) := \displaystyle\int_{\Omega } \left(\frac{1}{p}| \nabla u|…

For a control Cauchy problem $$\dot x= {f}(t,x,u,v) +\sum_{\alpha=1}^m g_\alpha(x) \dot u_\alpha,\quad x(a)=\bar x, $$ on an interval $[a,b]$, we propose a notion of limit solution $x,$ verifying the following properties: i) $x$ is defined…

We propose a fine analysis of second order optimality conditions for the optimal control of semi-linear parabolic equations with respect to the initial condition. More precisely, we investigate the following problem: maximise with respect…

We consider cost minimising control problems, in which the dynamical system is constrained by higher order differential equations of Euler-Lagrange type. Following ideas from a previous paper by the first and the third author, we prove that…

We consider the Lagrange problem of optimal control with unrestricted controls and address the question: under what conditions we can assure optimal controls are bounded? This question is related to the one of Lipschitzian regularity of…

We consider a bilinear optimal control problem associated to the following chemotaxis-consumption model in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ during a time interval $(0,T)$: $$\partial_t u - \Delta u = - \nabla \cdot (u \nabla…

Minimum-time quantum control protocols can be obtained from the quantum brachistochrone formalism [Carlini, Hosoya, Koike, and Okudaira, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 06053, (2006)]. We point out that the original treatment implicitly applied the…

The study is devoted to mathematical modeling and optimal control design of longitudinal motions of a rectilinear elastic rod. The control inputs are a force, which is normal to the cross section and distributed piecewise constantly along…

The aim of this paper is to study the heterogeneous optimization problem \begin{align*} \mathcal {J}(u)=\int_{\Omega}(G(|\nabla u|)+qF(u^+)+hu+\lambda_{+}\chi_{\{u>0\}} )\text{d}x\rightarrow\text{min}, \end{align*} in the class of functions…

We consider a control problem where the state must reach asymptotically a target while paying an integral payoff with a non-negative Lagrangian. The dynamics is just continuous, and no assumptions are made on the zero level set of the…

First, let $u_{g}$ be the unique solution of an elliptic variational inequality with source term $g$. We establish, in the general case, the error estimate between $u_{3}(\mu)=\mu u_{g_{1}}+ (1-\mu)u_{g_{2}}$ %(the convex combination of two…

In this paper we present explicit bounds for optimal control in a Lagrange problem without end-point constraints. The approach we use is due to Gamkrelidze and is based on the equivalence of the Lagrange problem and a time-optimal problem…

We consider the optimal control problem associated with a general version of the well known shallow lake model, and we prove the existence of an optimum in the class $L_{loc}^{1}\left(0,+\infty\right)$. Any direct proof seems to be missing…

In this paper we are concerned with generalised L 1-minimisation problems, i.e. Bolza problems involving the absolute value of the control with a control-affine dynamics. We establish sufficient conditions for the strong local optimality of…

Optimality conditions in the form of a variational inequality are proved for a class of constrained optimal control problems of stochastic differential equations. The cost function and the inequality constraints are functions of the…

A scheme for generating a family of convex variational principles is developed, the Euler- Lagrange equations of each member of the family formally corresponding to the necessary conditions of optimal control of a given system of ordinary…

In this paper we discuss the obstacle problem for the $p$-Laplace operator. We prove optimal growth results for the solution. Of particular interest is the point-wise regularity of the solution at free boundary points. The most surprising…

A continuous optimal control problem governed by an elliptic variational inequality was considered in Boukrouche-Tarzia, Comput. Optim. Appl., 53 (2012), 375-392 where the control variable is the internal energy $g$. It was proved the…
