Abstract

In this paper we discuss necessary and sufficient second order optimality conditions for control problems of semilinear elliptic equations with pointwise control constraints as well as integral state constraints. We consider the case of a boundary control problem, the state equation being described by a Neumann problem. The presence of state constraints along with pointwise control constraints causes some known difficulties in the proof of optimality conditions. Due to the specific integral form of the state-constraints, here we are able to considerably tighten the gap between second order necessary and sufficient condition. The analysis is based on some constraint qualification.
