Control and Variational Inequalities

10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Tampa 1st Floor

The speakers in this minisymposium will address recent advances in control problems involving variational inequalities. Typical problems include application of controls to a variational inequality to achieve the minimization of a desired objective functional, or a variational inequality that may arise in the optimality conditions for an optimal control problem for partial differential equations.

Organizer: Suzanne Lenhart
University of Tennessee, Knoxville

10:30 Optimal Control of the Obstacle for an Elliptic Variational Inequality

David Adams, University of Kentucky

11:00 Tangent Cones in Besov Spaces

Jan Sokolowski, Universite Henri Poincare, France and Warsaw Academy of Sciences, Poland

11:30 On a Transmission Optimal Shape Design Problem

Pekka Neittaanmaki, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland

12:00 Closed Range Mild Solution Operators, Orthogonality and Optimal Control

Nicholas Pavel, Ohio University
