This paper deals with second-order optimality conditions for a quasilinear elliptic control problem with a nonlinear coefficient in the principal part that is finitely PC2 (continuous and C2 apart from finitely many points). We prove that the control-to-state operator is continuously differentiable even though the nonlinear coefficient is non-smooth. This enables us to establish “no-gap” second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in terms of an abstract curvature functional, i.e., for which the sufficient condition only differs from the necessary one in the fact that the inequality is strict. A condition that is equivalent to the second-order sufficient optimality con... |
This work is concerned with second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for optimal control of a non-smooth semilinear elliptic partial differential equation, where the nonlinearity is the non-smooth max-function and thus the associated control-to-state operator is, in general, not Gâteaux-differentiable. In addition to standing assumptions, two main hypotheses are imposed. The first one is the Gâteaux-differentiability at the considered control of the objective functional and it is precisely characterized by the vanishing of an adjoint state on the set of all zeros of the corresponding state. The second one is a structural assumption on the sets of all points at which... |
