Abstract

In this paper we study an optimal control problem for a nonlinear monotone Dirichlet problem where the controls are taken as the matrix-valued coefficients in L^{\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb R^{N \times N}) . Given a suitable cost function, the objective is to provide a substantiation of the first order optimality conditions using the concept of convergence in variable spaces. While in the first part [Z. Anal. Anwend. 34 (2015), 85–108] optimality conditions have been derived and analysed in the general case under some assumptions on the quasi-adjoint states, in this second part, we consider diagonal matrices and analyse the corresponding optimality system without such assumptions.
