The optimal control of the metal solidification process in casting is considered. Quality of the obtained detail greatly depends on how the crystallization process proceeds. It is known that to obtain a model of a good quality it is desirable that the phase interface would be as close as possible to a plane and that the speed of its motion would be close to prescribed. The proposed mathematical model of the crystallization process is based on a three dimensional two phase initial-boundary value problem of the Stefan type. The velocity of the mold in the furnace is used as the control. The control satisfying the technological requirements is determined by solving the posed optimal control problem. The optimal control problem was solved numerically using gradient optimization methods. The effective method is proposed for calculation of the cost functional gradient. It is based on the fast automatic differentiation technique and produces the exact gradient for the chosen approximation of the optimal control problem.

Conditions are obtained for unique solution existence of a mixed control problem without taking in account control expenses for a system that described by an initial-boundary value problem for the linearized quasi-stationary system of phase field equations. The problem is reduced to an optimal control problem for operator differential equation of first order in abstract space with degenerate operator at derivative using start and distributed controls simultaneously. The theorem on the unique solvability of this problem is applied to studying of optimal control problem for the phase field equations system.

Abstract We deal with an optimal control problem governed by a nonlinear hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem describing the perpendicular vibrations of a clamped beam against a u elastic foundation. A variable thickness of a beam plays the role of a control variable. The original equation for the deflection is regularized in order to derive necessary optimality conditions

AbstractAn optimal control problem for the vibration equation of an elastic plate is considered when the control function is included in the coefficient of the highest order derivative and the right-hand side of the equation. The solvability of the initial boundary value problem is shown, the theorem on the existence of an optimal control is proved and a necessary condition of optimality in the form of an integral equation is obtained.

A theorem on unique solvability in the sense of the strong solutions is proved for a class of degenerate multi-term fractional equations in Banach spaces. It applies to the deriving of the conditions on unique solution existence for an optimal control problem to the corresponding equation. Obtained results are used to an optimal control problem study for a model system which is described by an initial-boundary value problem for a partial differential equation.

Abstract We deal with an optimal control problem governed by a nonlinear hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem describing the perpendicular vibrations of a simply supported anisotropic viscoelastic plate against a rigid obstacle. A variable thickness of a plate plays the role of a control variable. We verify the existence of an optimal thickness function.

AbstractAn inverse extremum problem (optimal control problem) for a quasi-linear radiative-conductive heat transfer model of endovenous laser ablation is considered. The problem is to find the powers of the source spending on heating the fiber tip and on radiation. As a result, it provides a given temperature distribution in some part of the model domain. The unique solvability of the initial-boundary value problem is proved, on the basis of which the solvability of the optimal control problem is shown. An iterative algorithm for solving the optimal control problem is proposed. Its efficiency is illustrated by a numerical example.
