The existence of weak solutions $(u,v)$ to this model given $f \\in L^q((0,T) \\times \\Omega)$, for some $q > 5/2$, has been proved in \\cite{guillen2022optimal}. In this work the optimal control problem is studied in a strong solution setting. First we prove that the regularity criterion $u ^s,f \\in L^q((0,T) \\times \\Omega)$ allows us to get existence and uniqueness of global-in-time strong solutions. In the sequel, we show the existence of a global optimal solution. Finally, using a Lagrange multipliers theorem, we establish first order optimality conditions for any local optimal solution, proving existence, uniqueness and regularity of the associated Lagrange multipliers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-15T16:34:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49J20", "49K20", "49N60", "35Q92", "92C17" ], "keywords": [ "optimal control problem subject", "strong solution", "chemotaxis-consumption model", "bilinear optimal control problem", "establish first order optimality conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
