2-D euler shape design on nonregular flows using adjoint rankine-hugoniot relations
Baeza, A.; Castro, C.; Palacios, F.; Zuazua, E. (2009-12-31)Optimal aerodynamic shape design aims to find the minimum of a functional that describes an aerodynamic property, by controlling the partial differential equation modeling the dynamics of the flow that surrounds an aircraft, ... -
A systematic method for building smooth controls for smooth data
Ervedoza, S.; Zuazua, E. (2010-12-31)We prove a regularity result for an abstract control problem z' = Az + Bv with initial datum z(0) = z0 in which the goal is to determine a control v such that z(T) = 0. Under standard admissibility and observability ... -
