AbstractThe question on existence of optimal controls for a system governed by quasilinear parabolic partial differential equations which is linear in the control variables is considered. It is shown that whenever the controls converge in the weak * topology of L∞, the corresponding solutions converge uniformly. Using this result and results on lower semi-continuity of integral functionals, existence theorems for optimal controls are proved.
