Analytical, Optimal, and Sparse Optimal Control of Traveling Wave Solutions to Reaction-Diffusion Systems
This work deals with the position control of selected patterns in
reaction-diffusion systems. Exemplarily, the Schl\"{o}gl and FitzHugh-Nagumo
model are discussed using three different approaches. First, an analytical
solution is proposed. Second, the standard optimal control procedure is
applied. The third approach extends standard optimal control to so-called
sparse optimal control that results in very localized control signals and
allows the analysis of second order optimality conditions.Comment: 22 pages, 3 figures, 2 table
