Abstract In this paper, a sensitivity analysis of optimal control problem for a class of systems described by nonlinear fractional evolution inclusions (NFEIs, for short) on Banach spaces is investigated. Firstly, the nonemptiness as well as the compactness of the mild solutions set S(ζ) (ζ being the initial condition) for the NFEIs are obtained, and we also present an extension Filippov’s theorem and whose proof differs from previous work only in some technical details. Finally, the optimal control problems described by NFEIs depending on the initial condition ζ and the parameter η are considered and the sensitivity properties of the optimal control problem are also established.

The optimal control problem for Burgers equation was first considered by Castro, Palacios and Zuazua. They proved the existence of a solution and proposed a numerical scheme to capture an optimal solution via the method of "alternate decent direction". In this paper, we introduce a new strategy for the optimal control problem for scalar conservation laws with convex flux. We propose a new cost function and by the Lax–Oleinik explicit formula for entropy solutions, the nonlinear problem is converted to a linear problem. Exploiting this property, we prove the existence of an optimal solution and, by a backward construction, we give an algorithm to capture an optimal solution.
