Using a Moreau-Yosida approximation, a family of approximating problems is obtained that is amenable to solution by a semismooth Newton method. The efficiency of this approach and the structure of the obtained controls are demonstrated by numerical examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-24T09:19:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "partial differential equations", "convex penalty", "switching control", "semismooth newton method", "controls consist" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
