On Optimal Control Problem for Conservation Law Modelling One Class of Highly Re-Entrant Production Systems
No full textWe discuss the optimal control problem stated as the minimization in the L2-sense of the mismatch between the actual out-flux
and a demand forecast for a hyperbolic conservation law that models a highly re-entrant production system. The output of the factory is
described as a function of the work in progress and the position of the so-called push-pull point (PPP) where we separate the beginning of
the factory employing a push policy from the end of the factory, which uses a pull policy

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Qualitative Analysis of an Optimal Sparse Control Problem for Quasi Linear Parabolic Equation with Variable Order of Nonlinearity
No full textAsymptotic Analysis of an Optimal Boundary Control Problem for Ill-Posed Elliptic Equation in Domains with Rugous Boundary
No full textWe study an optimal control problem for the mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary value problem for
the strongly non-linear elliptic equation with exponential nonlinearity in a domain with
rugous boundary. A density of surface traction acting on a part of rugous boundary is taken as a control. The optimal control problem is to minimize the
discrepancy between a given distribution and the
current system state. We deal with such case of nonlinearity when we cannot expect to have a solution of the state equation for a given control.
After having defined a suitable
class of the weak solutions, we provide asymptotic analysis of the above mentioned optimal control problem posed in a family of perturbed domains and give the characterization of the limiting behavior of its optimal solutions
On Regularization of an Optimal Control Problem for Ill-Posed Nonlinear Elliptic Equations
No full textWe discuss the existence issue to an optimal control problem for one class of nonlinear elliptic equations with an exponential type of nonlinearity. We deal with the control object when we cannot expect to have a solution of the corresponding boundary value problem in the standard functional space for all admissible controls. To overcome this difficulty, we make use of a variant of the classical Tikhonov regularization scheme. In particular, we eliminate the PDE constraints between control and state and allow such pairs run freely by introducing an additional variable which plays the role of “compensator” that appears in the original state equation. We show that this fictitious variable can be determined in a unique way. In order to provide an approximation of the original optimal control problem, we define a special family of regularized optimization problems. We show that each of these problems is consistent, well-posed, and their solutions allow to attain an optimal solution of the original problem as the parameter of regularization tends to zero. As a consequence, we prove the existence of optimal solutions to the original problem and propose a way for their approximation
