| Abstract: | The present paper is concerned with an optimal control problem for then-dimensional diffusion equation with a sequence of Radon measures as generalized control variables. Suppose that a desired final state is not reachable. We enlarge the set of admissible controls and provide a solution to the corresponding moment problem for the diffusion equation, so that the previously chosen desired final state is actually reachable by the action of a generalized control. Then, we minimize an objective function in this extended space, which can be characterized as consisting of infinite sequences of Radon measures which satisfy some constraints. Then, we approximate the action of the optimal sequence by that of a control, and finally develop numerical methods to estimate these nearly optimal controls. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate these ideas. |
