    Optimal control of doubly nonlinear evolution equations governed by subdifferentials without uniqueness of solutions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Farshbaf-Shaker, M. Hassan; Yamazaki, Noriaki
    In this paper we study an optimal control problem for a doubly nonlinear evolution equation governed by time-dependent subdifferentials. We prove the existence of solutions to our equation. Also, we consider an optimal control problem without uniqueness of solutions to the state system. Then, we prove the existence of an optimal control which minimizes the nonlinear cost functional. Moreover, we apply our general result to some model problem.

    A deep quench approach to the optimal control of an Allen-Cahn equation with dynamic boundary conditions and double obstacles
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Colli, Pierluigi; Farshbaf-Shaker, M. Hassan; Sprekels, Jürgen
    In this paper, we investigate optimal control problems for Allen-Cahn variational inequalities with a dynamic boundary condition involving double obstacle potentials and the Laplace-Beltrami operator. The approach covers both the cases of distributed controls and of boundary controls. The cost functional is of standard tracking type, and box constraints for the controls are prescribed. We prove existence of optimal controls and derive first-order necessary conditions of optimality. The general strategy is the following: we use the results that were recently established by two of the authors in the paper [5] for the case of (differentiable) logarithmic potentials and perform a so-called deep quench limit. Using compactness and monotonicity arguments, it is shown that this strategy leads to the desired first-order necessary optimality conditions for the case of (non-differentiable) double obstacle potentials.
