    In this paper we generalize to an arbitrary order, under minimal hypotheses, some sufficient conditions for Lipschitz continuity of the solution of a state constrained optimal control problems. The proof combines the approach by Hager in 1979 for dealing with first-order state constraints, and the high-order alternative formulation of the optimality conditions.

    In this paper we study the optimal control problem of the heat equation by a distributed control over a subset of the domain, in the presence of a state constraint. The latter is integral over the space and has to be satisfied at each time. Using for the first time the technique of alternative optimality … Read more
