Optimal Control of Semilinear Elliptic Obstacle Problems

VARIATIONAL DISCRETIZATION AND MIXED METHODS FOR SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH INTEGRAL CONSTRAINT

The aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint. The state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is not discreted. Optimal error estimates in L2 are established for the state...

L∞-error Estimates for a Class of Semilinear Elliptic Variational Inequalities and Quasi-variational Inequalities

This paper deals with the finite element approximation of a class of variational inequalities (VI) and quasi-variational inequalities (QVI) with the right-hand side depending upon the solution. We prove that the approximation is optimally accurate in L∞ combining the Banach fixed point theorem with the standard uniform error estimates in linear VIs and QVIs. We also prove that this approach ext...

A New Optimal Solution Concept for Fuzzy Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, we propose the new concept of optimal solution for fuzzy variational problems based on the possibility and necessity measures. Inspired by the well–known embedding theorem, we can transform the fuzzy variational problem into a bi–objective variational problem. Then the optimal solutions of fuzzy variational problem can be obtained by solving its corresponding biobjective variatio...

Quadratic convergence of monotone iterates for semilinear elliptic obstacle problems

In this paper, we consider the numerical solution for the discretization of semilinear elliptic complementarity problems. A monotone algorithm is established based on the upper and lower solutions of the problem. It is proved that iterates, generated by the algorithm, are a pair of upper and lower solution iterates and converge monotonically from above and below, respectively, to the solution o...
