    Optimal control for the thermistor problem
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Hömberg, Dietmar; Meyer, Christian; Rehberg, Joachim; Ring, Wolfgang
    This paper is concerned with the state-constrained optimal control of the two-dimensional thermistor problem, a quasi-linear coupled system of a parabolic and elliptic PDE with mixed boundary conditions. This system models the heating of a conducting material by means of direct current. Existence, uniqueness and continuity for the state system are derived by employing maximal elliptic and parabolic regularity. By similar arguments the linearized state system is discussed, while the adjoint system involving measures is investigated using a duality argument. These results allow to derive first-order necessary conditions for the optimal control problem.

    Optimal regularity for elliptic transmission problems including C1 interfaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2006) Elschner, Johannes; Rehberg, Joachim; Schmidt, Gunther
    We prove an optimal regularity result for elliptic operators $-nabla cdot mu nabla:W^1,q_0 rightarrow W^-1,q$ for a $q>3$ in the case when the coefficient function $mu$ has a jump across a $C^1$ interface and is continuous elsewhere. A counterexample shows that the $C^1$ condition cannot be relaxed in general. Finally, we draw some conclusions for corresponding parabolic operators.

    The full Keller-Segel model is well-posed on fairly general domains
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Horstmann, Dirk; Rehberg, Joachim; Meinlschmidt, Hannes
    In this paper we prove the well-posedness of the full Keller-Segel system, a quasilinear strongly coupled reaction-crossdiffusion system, in the spirit that it always admits a unique local-in-time solution in an adequate function space, provided that the initial values are suitably regular. Apparently, there exists no comparable existence result for the full Keller-Segel system up to now. The proof is carried out for general source terms and is based on recent nontrivial elliptic and parabolic regularity results which hold true even on fairly general spatial domains, combined with an abstract solution theorem for nonlocal quasilinear equations by Amann. Nous considèrons le système de Keller et Segel dans son intégralité, un système quasilinéaire à réaction-diffusion fortement couplé. Le résultat principal montre que ce syst`eme est bien posé, cest-à-dire il admet une solution unique existant localement en temps à valeurs dans un espace fonctionnel approprié, pourvu que les valeurs initiales sont réguliers. Apparemment, il nexiste pas encore des résultats comparables. Pour la demonstration, nous utilisons des résultats récents de régularité elliptique et parabolique applicable à des domaines assez générals, combiné avec un théorème abstrait dAmann concernant les équations quasilinéaires non locales.

    Optimal control of the thermistor problem in three spatial dimensions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Meinlschmidt, Hannes; Meyer, Christian; Rehberg, Joachim
    This paper is concerned with the state-constrained optimal control of the three-dimensional thermistor problem, a fully quasilinear coupled system of a parabolic and elliptic PDE with mixed boundary conditions. This system models the heating of a conducting material by means of direct current. Local existence, uniqueness and continuity for the state system are derived by employing maximal parabolic regularity in the fundamental theorem of Pr¨uss. Global solutions are addressed, which includes analysis of the linearized state system via maximal parabolic regularity, and existence of optimal controls is shown if the temperature gradient is under control. The adjoint system involving measures is investigated using a duality argument. These results allow to derive first-order necessary conditions for the optimal control problem in form of a qualified optimality system. The theoretical findings are illustrated by numerical results
