In this chapter the authors consider the numerical treatment of a mixedinteger optimal control problem governed by linear convection-diffusion equations and binary control variables. Using relaxation techniques (introduced by [31] for ordinary differential equations) the original mixed-integer optimal control problem is transferred into a relaxed optimal control problem with no integrality constraints. After an optimal solution to the relaxed problem has been computed, binary admissible controls are constructed by a sum-up rounding technique. This allows us to construct-in an iterative process-binary admissible controls such that the corresponding optimal state and the optimal cost value approximate the original ones with arbitrary accuracy. However, using finite element (FE) methods to discretize the state and adjoint equations yield often to extensive systems which make the frequently calculations time-consuming. Therefore, a model-order reduction based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method is applied. Compared to the FE case, the POD approach yields to a significant acceleration of the CPU times while the error stays sufficiently small.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
