Observability Inequality of Backward Stochastic Heat Equations for Measurable Sets and Its Applications
This paper aims to provide directly the observability inequality of backward
stochastic heat equations for measurable sets. As an immediate application, the
null controllability of the forward heat equations is obtained. Moreover, an
interesting relaxed optimal actuator location problem is formulated, and the
existence of its solution is proved. Finally, the solution is characterized by
a Nash equilibrium of the associated game problem
Norm and time optimal control problems of stochastic heat equations
This paper investigates the norm and time optimal control problems for
stochastic heat equations. We begin by presenting a characterization of the
norm optimal control, followed by a discussion of its properties. We then
explore the equivalence between the norm optimal control and time optimal
control, and subsequently establish the bang-bang property of the time optimal
control. These problems, to the best of our knowledge, are among the first to
discuss in the stochastic case
Perturbations of time optimal control problems for a class of abstract parabolic systems
In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a class of
abstract parabolic time optimal control problems when the generators converge,
in an appropriate sense, to a given strictly negative operator. Our main
application to PDEs systems concerns the behavior of optimal time and of the
associated optimal controls for parabolic equations with highly oscillating
coefficients, as we encounter in homogenization theory. Our main results assert
that, provided that the target is a closed ball centered at the origin and of
positive radius, the solutions of the time optimal control problems for the
systems with oscillating coefficients converge, in the usual norms, to the
solution of the corresponding problem for the homogenized system. In order to
prove our main theorem, we provide several new results, which could be of a
broader interest, on time and norm optimal control problems
