    Strong stationarity conditions for the optimal control of a Cahn--Hilliard--Navier--Stokes system
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2022) Hintermüller, Michael; Keil, Tobias
    This paper is concerned with the distributed optimal control of a time-discrete Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes system with variable densities. It focuses on the double-obstacle potential which yields an optimal control problem for a variational inequality of fourth order and the Navier-Stokes equation. The existence of solutions to the primal system and of optimal controls is established. The Lipschitz continuity of the constraint mapping is derived and used to characterize the directional derivative of the constraint mapping via a system of variational inequalities and partial differential equations. Finally, strong stationarity conditions are presented following an approach from Mignot and Puel.

    Optimal control and directional differentiability for elliptic quasi-variational inequalities
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Alphonse, Amal; Hintermüller, Michael; Rautenberg, Carlos N.
    We focus on elliptic quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type and prove a number of results on the existence of solutions, directional differentiability and optimal control of such QVIs. We give three existence theorems based on an order approach, an iteration scheme and a sequential regularisation through partial differential equations. We show that the solution map taking the source term into the set of solutions of the QVI is directionally differentiable for general unsigned data, thereby extending the results of our previous work which provided a first differentiability result for QVIs in infinite dimensions. Optimal control problems with QVI constraints are also considered and we derive various forms of stationarity conditions for control problems, thus supplying among the first such results in this area.
