“…Both BV optimal control problems and optimal control problems with measures have attracted significant research interest in the recent past, see, e.g. [8,13,14,17,22,23] for the former and [11,12,15,16,29,30] for the latter.Error estimates for PDE-constrained optimal control problems involving measures have been presented in [11,30,31,34,35].

Here, u ∈ V := H 1 0 (Ω) is the state and q ∈ Q := BV (Ω) is the control, where BV (Ω) denotes the space of functions of bounded variation (BV) on the interval Ω := (0, 1). The operator A is elliptic and α is a positive real number. The two finite element schemes that will be analyzed are identical in regard to the discretization of state and adjoint state, but they differ in the treatment of the control. In the variational discretization the control is not discretized, while in the second scheme the control is discretized by piecewise constant functions.The significance of the above control problem is given by the use of the BVseminorm q ′ M(Ω) in the objective. This favors piecewise constant controls with only a limited number of jumps, which makes this problem type interesting in many practical applications. The precise functional analytic setting will be provided in the next section.Optimal control problems with BV-controls defined in one space dimension are strongly related to control problems with measures as controls. Both BV optimal control problems and optimal control problems with measures have attracted significant research interest in the recent past, see, e.g. [8,13,14,17,22,23] for the former and [11,12,15,16,29,30] for the latter.Error estimates for PDE-constrained optimal control problems involving measures have been presented in [11,30,31,34,35]. For error estimates of further sparsity promoting optimal control problems with PDEs see for example [19,30]. The literature on error estimates for optimal control problems with controls in BV is rather limited. We are only aware of [14,18]. Error estimates and numerical analysis for inverse problems involving BV-functions are studied in [5,6]. Related discussion of ODE-constrained control problems involving discontinuous functions and their numerical analysis can be found in, e.g., [1,2,10,21,25,26,37,38].The main difficulty in deriving error estimates for the above problem is given by the fact that it lacks certain coercivity properties that are usually employed to obtain error estimates for the controls, for instance by suitably testing the first order necessary optimality conditions. Hence, only error estimates for the state and the adjoint state can be proven in a rather direct manner; these are, however, suboptimal. To obtain an error estimate for the control and also to improve the error estimates for state and adjoint state, we make use of a structural assumption on the Lagrange multiplierΦ arising from the convex subdifferential of the term q ′ M(Ω) . Specifically, we assume thatΦ, which is a C 2 function inΩ, has only finitely many global extreme points and that it exhibits quadratic growth near those points (i.e.,Φ ′′ = 0 near those points; see Assumption 4.4 and Assumption 4.5). Since the jump set of the optimal control is contained in the set of global extreme points ofΦ, see Corollary 1, this assumption implies that the optimal control admits only finitely many jumps, which is a rather typical situation in practice. In addition, it ensures ...

In this paper, we analyze optimal control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations. Box constraints for the controls are imposed and the cost functional involves the state and possibly a sparsity-promoting term, but not a Tikhonov regularization term. Unlike finite dimensional optimization or control problems involving Tikhonov regularization, second order sufficient optimality conditions for the control problems we deal with must be imposed in a cone larger than the one used to obtain necessary conditions. Different extensions of this cone have been proposed in the literature for different kinds of minima: strong or weak minimizers for optimal control problems. After a discussion on these extensions, we propose a new extended cone smaller than those considered until now. We prove that a second order condition based on this new cone is sufficient for a strong local minimum.

“…Furthermore, sparsity results for optimal control problems with linear partial differential equations are considered in several works. References were specified for example in [3] where the authors emphasize the papers [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [11], [12], [16], and [17]. In image reconstruction, BV -functions are well investigated but modeling aspects are different compared to optimal control with partial differential equations.…”

An optimal control problem for the linear wave equation with control cost chosen as the BV semi-norm in time is analyzed. This formulation enhances piecewise constant optimal controls and penalizes the number of jumps. Existence of optimal solutions and necessary optimality conditions are derived. With numerical realisation in mind, the regularization by H 1 functionals is investigated, and the asymptotic behavior as this regularization tends to zero is analyzed. For the H 1 ´regularized problems the semi-smooth Newton algorithm can be used to solve the first order optimality conditions with super-linear convergence rate. Examples are constructed which show that the distributional derivative of an optimal control can be a mix of absolutely continuous measures with respect to the Lebesgue measure, a countable linear combination of Dirac measures, and Cantor measures. Numerical results illustrate and support the analytical results.
