摘要

This work is concerned with a class of minimum effort problems for partial differential equations, where the control cost is of L-infinity-type. Since this problem is non-differentiable, a regularized functional is introduced that can be minimized by a superlinearly convergent semi-smooth Newton method. Uniqueness and convergence for the solutions to the regularized problem are addressed, and a continuation strategy based on a model function is proposed. Numerical examples for a convection-diffusion equation illustrate the behavior of minimum effort controls.
