Abstract

Let Ω be a bounded three-dimensional domain with boundary Γ, which represents a body that has to be heated. We may act along the boundary by setting a temperature \(u=u(x)\) and, in that manner, change the temperature distribution inside the body. The goal of the problem consists in getting as close as possible to a given desired temperature distribution z d (x) in Ω.
