M. Heinkenschloss et F. Troltasch, Analysis of the Lagrange-SQP-Newton method for the control of a phase field equation, CONTROL CYB, 28(2), 1999, pp. 177-211
This paper investigates the local convergence of the Lagrange-SQP-Newton me
thod applied to an optimal control problem governed by a phase field equati
on with distributed control. The phase field equation is a system of two se
milinear parabolic differential equations. Stability analysis of optimizati
on problems and regularity results for parabolic differential equations are
used to proof convergence of the controls with respect to the L-2(Q) norm
and with respect to the L-infinity(Q) norm.
