AbstractA computational investigation of optimal control problems which are constrained by hyperbolic systems of conservation laws is presented. The general framework is to employ the adjoint-based optimization to minimize the cost functional of matching-type between the optimal and the target solution. Extension of the numerical schemes to second-order accuracy for systems for the forward and backward problem are applied. In addition a comparative study of two relaxation approaches as solvers for hyperbolic systems is undertaken. In particular optimal control of the 1-D Riemann problem of Euler equations of gas dynamics is studied. The initial values are used as control parameters. The numerical flow obtained by optimal initial conditions matches accurately with observations.

A computational algorithm is presented for a class of optimal control problems involving time delays. The approach is to restrict the control signal to a class of piecewise constant time functions with a prescribed number of switching times, compute the optimal member of this class, and then repeat with a larger number of switching times. By allowing the number of switching times to increase beyond bound a sequence of restricted optimal control signals is developed whose limit approaches the unrestricted optimal control signal. In practice the computations are terminated after a finite number of repeats, thus leading to the approximate nature of the solution. The results of two examples are included to illustrate the technique.
