A. Debinskanagorska et al., ANALYSIS AND SEMIDISCRETE GALERKIN APPROXIMATION OF A CLASS OF NONLINEAR PARABOLIC OPTIMAL-CONTROL PROBLEMS, Computers & mathematics with applications, 35(6), 1998, pp. 95-103
This paper presents an optimization problem involving a system governe
d by a nonlinear partial differential equation with control acting on
the domain, in the boundary conditions,or in the initial condition. We
describe the Galerkin approximation and prove its convergence to the
solutions of the initial optimization problem.
