Control problems governed by time-dependent maximal monotone operators

Abstract

The paper concerns on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space, the existence and uniqueness of absolutely continuous solutions, for Lipschitz single-valued perturbations of evolution problems involving maximal-monotone operators. This result allows us to extend to optimal control problems associated with such equations, the relaxation theorems with Young measures proved recently in [S. Saidi, L. Thibault and M.F. Yarou, Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 34 (2013) 1156–1186].
