Existence in Optimal Control with State Equation in Divergence Form via Variational Principles

José Carlos Bellido; Pablo Pedregal

Abstract

We explore several relevant issues concerned with some typical two-dimensional optimal design problems by using a purely variational format. Specifically, we investigate situations of existence of optimal solutions and relaxation in terms of quasiconvexifications and Young measures.
