    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.

    Boundary coefficient control : a maximal parabolic regularity approach
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Hömberg, Dietmar; Krumbiegel, Klaus; Rehberg, Joachim
    We investigate a control problem for the heat equation. The goal is to find an optimal heat transfer coefficient in the Robin boundary condition such that a desired temperature distribution at the boundary is adhered. To this end we consider a function space setting in which the heat flux across the boundary is forced to be an $L^p$ function with respect to the surface measure, which in turn implies higher regularity for the time derivative of temperature. We show that the corresponding elliptic operator generates a strongly continuous semigroup of contractions and apply the concept of maximal parabolic regularity. This allows to show the existence of an optimal control and the derivation of necessary and sufficient optimality conditions.
