In this paper, we introduce a new class of multi-dimensional robust optimization problems (named (P)) with mixed constraints implying second-order partial differential equations (PDEs) and inequations (PDIs). Moreover, we define an auxiliary (modified) class of robust control problems (named (P)(b¯,c¯)), which is much easier to study, and provide some characterization results of (P) and (P)(b¯,c¯) by using the notions of normal weak robust optimal solution and robust saddle-point associated with a Lagrange functional corresponding to (P)(b¯,c¯). For this aim, we consider path-independent curvilinear integral cost functionals and the notion of convexity associated with a curvilinear integral functional generated by a controlled closed (complete integrable) Lagrange 1-form.

In this paper, by using scalar multiple integral cost functionals and the notion of convexity associated with a multiple integral functional driven by an uncertain multi-time controlled second-order Lagrangian, we develop a new mathematical framework on multi-dimensional scalar variational control problems with mixed constraints implying second-order partial differential equations (PDEs) and inequations (PDIs). Concretely, we introduce and investigate an auxiliary (modified) variational control problem, which is much easier to study, and provide some equivalence results by using the notion of a normal weak robust optimal solution.

The present paper deals with a duality study associated with a new class of multiobjective optimization problems that include the interval-valued components of the ratio vector. More precisely, by using the new notion of (ρ,ψ,d)-quasiinvexity associated with an interval-valued multiple-integral functional, we formulate and prove weak, strong, and converse duality results for the considered class of variational control problems.

In this paper, optimality conditions are studied for a new class of PDE and PDI-constrained scalar variational control problems governed by path-independent curvilinear integral functionals. More precisely, we formulate and prove a minimal criterion for a local optimal solution of the considered PDE and PDI-constrained variational control problem to be its global optimal solution. The effectiveness of the main result is validated by a two-dimensional non-convex scalar variational control problem.

In this paper, by using the new concept of (ϱ,ψ,ω)-quasiinvexity associated with interval-valued path-independent curvilinear integral functionals, we establish some duality results for a new class of multiobjective variational control problems with interval-valued components. More concretely, we formulate and prove weak, strong, and converse duality theorems under (ϱ,ψ,ω)-quasiinvexity hypotheses for the considered class of optimization problems.

The present paper deals with a class of second-order PDE constrained controlled optimization problems with application in Lagrange–Hamilton dynamics. Concretely, we formulate and prove necessary conditions of optimality for the considered class of control problems driven by multiple integral cost functionals involving second-order partial derivatives. Moreover, an illustrative example is provided to highlight the effectiveness of the results derived in the paper. In the final part of the paper, we present an algorithm to summarize the steps for solving a control problem such as the one investigated here.

Abstract We present a certified reduced basis (RB) framework for the efficient solution of PDE-constrained parametric optimization problems. We consider optimization problems (such as optimal control and optimal design) governed by elliptic PDEs and involving possibly non-convex cost functionals, assuming that the control functions are described in terms of a parameter vector. At each optimization step, the high-fidelity approximation of state and adjoint problems is replaced by a certified RB approximation, thus yielding a very efficient solution through an “optimize-then-reduce” approach. We develop a posteriori error estimates for the solutions of state and adjoint problems, the cost functional, its gradient and the optimal solution. We confirm our theoretical results in the case of optimal control/design problems dealing with potential and thermal flows.

In this paper, we investigate the Lagrange dynamics generated by a class of isoperimetric constrained controlled optimization problems involving second-order partial derivatives and boundary conditions. More precisely, we derive necessary optimality conditions for the considered class of variational control problems governed by path-independent curvilinear integral functionals. Moreover, the theoretical results presented in the paper are accompanied by an illustrative example. Furthermore, an algorithm is proposed to emphasize the steps to be followed to solve a control problem such as the one studied in this paper.

Abstract We obtain a version of Noether's invariance theorem for optimal control problems with a finite number of cost functionals. The result is obtained by formulating E. Noether's result for optimal control problems subject to isoperimetric constraints, and then using the unimprovable (Pareto) notion of optimality. It was A. Gugushvili who drew the author's attention to a result of this kind that was posed as an open mathematical question of a great interest in applications of control engineering.

In this paper, we studied the well posedness for a new class of optimization problems with variational inequality constraints involving second-order partial derivatives. More precisely, by using the notions of lower semicontinuity, pseudomonotonicity, hemicontinuity and monotonicity for a multiple integral functional, and by introducing the set of approximating solutions for the considered class of constrained optimization problems, we established some characterization results on well posedness. Furthermore, to illustrate the theoretical developments included in this paper, we present some examples.
