STRONG STATIONARITY FOR THE CONTROL OF VISCOUS HISTORY-DEPENDENT EVOLUTIONARY VIS ARISING IN APPLICATIONS


L. Betz

 Abstract:  This paper addresses optimal control problems governed by historydependent EVIs with viscosity. One of the prominent properties of the state system is its nonsmooth nature, so that the application of standard adjoint calculus is excluded. We extend previous results by showing that history-dependent EVIs with viscosity can be formulated as nonsmooth ODEs in Hilbert space in a general setting. The Hadamard directional di erentiability of the solution map is then investigated. This allows us to establish strong stationary conditions for two di erent viscous damage models with fatigue.
