Optimal control of first-order partial differential inclusions in bounded region

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the Lagrange problem in the bounded region for first-order partial differential inclusions (PDIs). For this, using discretisation method and locally adjoint mappings (LAMs), in the form of Euler–Lagrange type inclusions and conjugate boundary conditions, sufficient optimality conditions are obtained. The transition to a continuous problem with PDIs is possible using a specially proved equivalence theorem. To demonstrate this approach, some semilinear problems and polyhedral optimisation with first-order partial differential inclusions are considered. Furthermore, the numerical results also are provided.
