Abstract

A Lavrentiev prox-regularization method for optimal control problems with pointwise state constraints is introduced. The convergence of the controls generated by the iterative Lavrentiev prox-regularization algorithm is studied. For a sequence of regularization parameters that converges to zero, strong convergence of the generated control sequence to the optimal control is proved. Due to the prox-character of the proposed regularization, the feasibility of the iterates for a given parameter can be improved compared with the non-prox Lavrentiev regularization.
