Optimality Conditions for State-constrained Pde Control Problems with Time-dependent Controls

The paper deals with optimal control problems for semilinear elliptic and parabolic PDEs subject to pointwise state constraints. The main issue is that the controls are taken from a restricted control space. In the parabolic case, they are Rm -vector-valued functions of the time, while the are vectors of Rm in elliptic problems. Under natural assumptions, firstand second-order sufficient optimality conditions are derived. The main result is the extension of second-order sufficient conditions to semilinear parabolic equations in domains of arbitrary dimension. In the elliptic case, the problems can be handled by known results of semi-infinite optimization. Here, different examples are discussed that exhibit different forms of active sets and where second-order sufficient conditions are satisfied at the optimal solution.
