Abstract

We consider minimal time and minimal norm of the optimal controls for a multi-dimensional internally controlled heat equation with control domain varying over a class of open sets. Two problems are formulated separately into different types of shape optimization problems over this open set class. The governing equation with any given initial value and admissible control are considered as constraints, and minimal time or minimal norm of the optimal controls is considered as cost for related shape optimization. The solution of the shape optimization leads to the optimal actuator location for optimal controls. The existence of such an optimal location domain for both minimal time and minimal norm controls is presented. A different problem that relates the balance between minimal time and minimal norm controls is also discussed. This study builds a link between optimal control and shape optimization for this multi-dimensional heat equation.
