Abstract

This paper is concerned with the shape sensitivity analysis of a class of boundary control, constrained, optimal control problems for parabolic systems. The notion of Euler and Lagrange derivatives of a boundary optimal control in the direction of a vector field is introduced. The derivatives are obtained in the form of optimal solutions of auxiliary optimal control problems. The method of sensitivity analysis used in this paper is based on related results on the differential stability of metric projections in Hilbert space onto a convex, closed subset, combined with the material derivative method of shape sensitivity analysis. Parabolic initial-boundary value problems with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are considered in this paper.
