Mini-course: Introduction to optimal control of partial differential equations

Time:9:00:01/01/0001 to  11:00:31/12/2015

Venue/Location: Lecture Hall B4-705 B4, VIASM, 7th floor, Ta Quang Buu Library

Organisers: Cung The Anh

Purpose: Abstract: The aim of this mini-course is to introduce the optimal control theory of linear and semilinear elliptic and parabolic equations. We will present the basic tools to prove the existence of optimal solutions, to derive first order optimality conditions, and to explain how these optimality conditions may be used in optimization algorithms to compute optimal solutions.
