A boundary control problem for a possibly singular phase field system with dynamic boundary conditions
This paper deals with an optimal control problem related to a phase field
system of Caginalp type with a dynamic boundary condition for the temperature.
The control placed in the dynamic boundary condition acts on a part of the
boundary. The analysis carried out in this paper proves the existence of an
optimal control for a general class of potentials, possibly singular. The study
includes potentials for which the derivatives may not exist, these being
replaced by well-defined subdifferentials. Under some stronger assumptions on
the structure parameters and on the potentials (namely for the regular and the
logarithmic case having single-valued derivatives), the first order necessary
optimality conditions are derived and expressed in terms of the boundary trace
of the first adjoint variable.Comment: Key words: phase field system, phase transition, singular potentials,

The -control problem for parabolic systems with singular Hardy potentials
We solve the -control problem with state feedback for infinite
dimensional boundary control systems of parabolic type with distributed
disturbances and apply the results to equations with Hardy potentials with the
singularity inside or on the boundary, in the cases of a distributed control
and of a boundary control.Comment: 37 pages, 0 figure
Feedback stabilization of the Cahn-Hilliard type system for phase separation
This article is concerned with the internal feedback stabilization of the
phase field system of Cahn-Hilliard type, modeling the phase separation in a
binary mixture. Under suitable assumptions on an arbitrarily fixed stationary
solution, we construct via spectral separation arguments a feedback controller
having the support in an arbitrary open subset of the space domain, such that
the closed loop nonlinear system exponentially reach the prescribed stationary
solution. This feedback controller has a finite dimensional structure in the
state space of solutions. In particular, every constant stationary solution is
admissible.Comment: 43 pages. Keywords: Cahn-Hilliard system, Feedback control, Closed

A Trotter–Kato type theorem in the weak topology and an application to a singular perturbed problem
AbstractIn this paper we prove a result of the Trotter–Kato type in the weak topology. Let {Aε}ε>0 be a family of quasi m-accretive linear operators on a Hilbert space X and let us denote by Jλε the resolvent of Aε. Under certain conditions, the result states that if for any x∈X and k=1,2,…, the sequence (Jλε)kx converges weakly to (Jλ)kx as ε→0, where Jλ is the resolvent of a linear quasi m-accretive operator A on X, then the sequence of the semigroups generated by −Aε tends weakly to the semigroup generated by −A, uniformly with respect to t on compact intervals. The result is different from other results of the same type (see e.g., Yosida (1980) [9, p. 269]) and gives an answer to an open problem put in Eisner and Serény (2010) [3]. It is finally applied to compare the asymptotic behavior of a singular perturbation problem associated to a first order hyperbolic problem with diffusion
