Necessary Optimality Conditions for Some Control Problems of Elliptic Equations with Venttsel Boundary Conditions

Abstract

In this paper we derive a necessary optimality condition for a local optimal solution of some control problems. These optimal control problems are governed by a semi-linear Vettsel boundary value problem of a linear elliptic equation. The control is applied to the state equation via the boundary and a functional of the control together with the solution of the state equation under such a control will be minimized. A constrain on the solution of the state equation is also considered.
