This paper is concerned with optimal control of a class of distributed-parameter systems governed by first-order, quasilinear hyperbolic partial differential equations that arise in optimal control problems of many physical systems such as fluids dynamics and elastodynamics. The distributed system is controlled via a forced nonlinear periodic boundary condition that describes a boundary control action. Further, the periodic boundary control is subject to a dynamic constraint imposed by a lumped-parameter system governed by ordinary differential equations that model actuator dynamics. The partial differential equations are thus coupled with the ordinary differential equations via the periodic boundary condition. Optimality of this coupled system is investigated using variational principles to seek an adjoint formulation of the optimal control problem. The results are then applied to solve a feedback control problem of the Mach number in a wind tunnel.

Using a previous result by Gali and El-Saify (1983) and the theory of Kotarski (1989), and Lions (1971), we formulate the boundary control problem for a system governed by Neumann problem involving selfadjoint elliptic operator of2ℓth order with an infinite number of variables. The inequalities which characterize the optimal control in terms of the adjoint system are obtained, it is studied in order to construct algorithms attainable to numerical computations for the approximation of the control.
