  2. 6. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control Problems

    Author : Karin Kraft; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dual weighted residual; adaptive; Newton method; variational inequality; vehicle dynamics.; multilevel algorithm; discontinuous Galerkin method; a posteriori error estimate; finite element method; optimal control; control constraint;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems. The problems considered consist of a systemof differential equations, the state equations, which are governed bya control variable. The goal is to determine the states and controls which minimize a given cost functional. READ MORE
