Abstract

In this work, the least pointwise upper and/or lower bounds on the state variableon a specified subdomain of a control system under piecewise constant control action are sought.This results in a non-smooth optimization problem in function spaces. Introducing a Moreau-Yosidaregularization of the state constraints, the problem can be solvedusing a superlinearly convergent semi-smooth Newton method.Optimality conditions are derived, convergence of the Moreau-Yosidaregularization is proved, and well-posedness and superlinearconvergence of the Newton method is shown. Numerical examplesillustrate the features of this problem and the proposed approach.
