Abstract:We study a minimisation problem in L p and L ∞ for certain cost functionals, where the class of admissible mappings is constrained by the Navier-Stokes equations. Problems of this type are motivated by variational data assimilation for atmospheric flows arising in weather forecasting. Herein we establish the existence of PDE-constrained minimisers for all p, and also that L p minimisers converge to L ∞ minimisers as p → ∞. We further show that L p minimisers solve an Euler-Lagrange system. Finally, all special… Show more
