    Sharp interface control in a Penrose-Fife model
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Colli, Pierluigi; Marinoschi, Gabriela; Rocca, Elisabetta
    In this paper we study a singular control problem for a system of PDEs describing a phasefield model of Penrose-Fife type. The main novelty of this contribution consists in the idea of forcing a sharp interface separation between the states of the system by using heat sources distributed in the domain and at the boundary. We approximate the singular cost functional with a regular one, which is based on the Legendre-Fenchel relations. Then, we obtain a regularized control problem for which we compute the first order optimality conditions using an adapted penalization technique. The proof of some convergence results and the passage to the limit in these optimality conditions lead to the characterization of the desired optimal controller.

    Optimal control for a phase field system with a possibly singular potential
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Colli, Pierluigi; Gilardi, Gianni; Marinoschi, Gabriela; Rocca, Elisabetta
    In this paper we study a distributed control problem for a phase-field system of Caginalp type with logarithmic potential. The main aim of this work would be to force the location of the diffuse interface to be as close as possible to a prescribed set. However, due to the discontinuous character of the cost functional, we have to approximate it by a regular one and, in this case, we solve the associated control problem and derive the related first order necessary optimality conditions.

    Sliding modes for a phase-field system
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Barbu, Viorel; Colli, Pierluigi; Gilardi, Gianni; Marinoschi, Gabriela; Rocca, Elisabetta
    In the present contribution the sliding mode control (SMC) problem for a phasefield model of Caginalp type is considered. First we prove the well-posedness and some regularity results for the phase-field type state systems modified by the statefeedback control laws. Then, we show that the chosen SMC laws force the system to reach within finite time the sliding manifold (that we chose in order that one of the physical variables or a combination of them remains constant in time). We study three different types of feedback control laws: the first one appears in the internal energy balance and forces a linear combination of the temperature and the phase to reach a given (space dependent) value, while the second and third ones are added in the phase relation and lead the phase onto a prescribed target phi*. While the control law is non-local in space for the first two problems, it is local in the third one, i.e., its value at any point and any time just depends on the value of the state.
