Many real-life applications such as the shape optimization of technological devices, the identification of parameters in environmental processes and flow control problems lead to optimization problems governed by systems of convection diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs). When convection dominates diffusion, the solutions of these PDEs typically exhibit layers, localized regions where the derivative of the solution is large. Hence, it requires special numerical techniques, which take into account the structure of the convection. Discontinuous Galerkin methods became recently as an alternative to the finite difference and finite volume methods for solving wave dominated problems like convection diffusion equation since they possess higher accuracy and work better in complex geometries. In this talk, we will generally focus on analysis and application of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for distributed optimal control problems governed by convection dominated PDEs with state constraints. State constraints are regularized by Lavrentiev-based (mixed control-state constraint) and MoreauYosida-based techniques. We provide an efficient and reliable estimates for the discretization errors in the state, a regularized adjoint and the control. To solve the problem numerically, a primal-dual active set strategy is implemented. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the error estimator

Many real-life applications such as the shape optimization of technological devices, the identification of parameters in environmental processes and flow control problems lead to optimization problems governed by systems of convection di usion partial di erential equations (PDEs). When convection dominates di usion, the solutions of these PDEs typically exhibit layers on small regions where the solution has large gradients. Hence, it requires special numerical techniques, which take into account the structu...

We study a posteriori error estimates for the numerical approximations of state constrained optimal control problems governed by convection diffusion equations, regularized by Moreau-Yosida and Lavrentiev-based techniques. The upwind Symmetric Interior Penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method is used as a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization method. We derive different residual-based error indicators for each regularization technique due to the regularity issues. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a poste...
Solving optimal control time-dependent diffusion-convection-reaction equations by space time discretizations
Seymen, Zahire; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Mathematics (2013)
Optimal control problems (OCPs) governed by convection dominated diffusion-convection-reaction equations arise in many science and engineering applications such as shape optimization of the technological devices, identification of parameters in environmental processes and flow control problems. A characteristic feature of convection dominated optimization problems is the presence of sharp layers. In this case, the Galerkin finite element method performs poorly and leads to oscillatory solutions. Hence, thes...

In this paper, we study a posteriori error estimates of the upwind symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method for the control constrained optimal control problems governed by linear diffusion-convection-reaction partial differential equations.

Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin approximation of optimal control problems governed by transient convection-diffusion equations
Stoll, Martin; Yücel, Hamdullah; Benner, Peter (2018-01-01)
In this paper, we investigate a posteriori error estimates of a control-constrained optimal control problem governed by a time-dependent convection diffusion equation. The control constraints are handled by using the primal-dual active set algorithm as a semi-smooth Newton method and by adding a Moreau-Yosida-type penalty function to the cost functional. Residual-based error estimators are proposed for both approaches. The derived error estimators are used as error indicators to guide the mesh refinements. ...
