A boundary Pontryagin’s principle for the optimal control of state-constrained elliptic systems

  • Chapter
Optimization, Optimal Control and Partial Differential Equations

Abstract

Pontryagin’s principle, originally devised for the optimal control of ordinary differential equation, has recently been extended to the optimal control of semilinear elliptic systems and variational inequalities in the case of a distributed control. In this paper we show that if the control is also active at the boundary of the domain, then a boundary Hamiltonian satisfying a boundary maximum Pontryagin’s principle appears in a natural way.
