This book highlights new developments in the wide and growing field of partial differential equations (PDE)-constrained optimization. Optimization problems wher

Optimal control theory is concerned with finding control functions that minimize cost functions for systems described by differential equations. The methods hav

This is a book on optimal control problems (OCPs) for partial differential equations (PDEs) that evolved from a series of courses taught by the authors in the l

Solving optimization problems subject to constraints given in terms of partial d- ferential equations (PDEs) with additional constraints on the controls and/or

Optimal design, optimal control, and parameter estimation of systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) give rise to a class of problems known as
