Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to study the optimal distributed control for a model of homogeneous incompressible two-phase flows. We apply the well-posedness and regularity results to establish the existence of optimal controls as well as the first-order necessary optimality conditions for an associated optimal control problem in which a distributed control is applied to the fluid.

Notes

  1. Recall for definiteness that it is easy to prove that a couple (v, ϕ) belonging to the function spaces and satisfying integral equation indicated above, is the solution of system (2.2) as well.
