Abstract

We investigate optimal control problems with vector-valued controls. As model problem serve the optimal distributed control of the instationary Navier-Stokes equations. We study pointwise convex control constraints, which is a constraint of the form u(x, t) ∈ U(x, t) that has to hold on the domain Q. Here, U is an set-valued mapping that is assumed to be measurable with convex and closed images. We establish first-order necessary as well as second-order sufficient optimality conditions. And we prove regularity results for locally optimal controls.
