Abstract

This paper studies solution stability of a parametric optimal control problem governed by semilinear elliptic equations and nonconvex objective function with mixed pointwise constrains in which the controls act both in the domain and on the boundary. We give sufficient conditions under which the solution map is upper semicontinuous and continuous in parameters.
